Improved flight access to Caribbean Dominica
Tuesday, 20 May 2008 17:18
The Caribbean island of Dominica will enjoy better air access this summer, building on strong tourism growth and its starring role in Pirates of the Caribbean II.
Visitor numbers from the UK to Dominica rose 11.6 per cent in the past two years - after the island was a featured location in Disney's popular pirate movie.
From May 26th travellers will be able to fly from the UK to the capital of Dominica - Roseau - via St Lucia with Carib Aviation.
This new daily service aims to make the journey as convenient as possible, with customs pre-clearance and a comfortable transit lounge.
Until now, the only same-day routes into Dominica from the UK have been via Antigua, land an hour and a half's drive from Roseau in the northeast of the island.
