ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Caribbean Star Airlines (www.flycaribbeanstar.com) has
reinstated plans to offer new service to/from Curacao.
The new service, which is on sale now for travel beginning December 1, 2006, will operate daily creating an attractive new air link between Trinidad and Curacao.
The flight schedule:
• Flight #771 – Departs Trinidad at 9:45 a.m. / arrives in Curacao at 12:10 p.m.
• Flight #879 – Departs Curacao at 12:45 p.m. / arrives in Trinidad at 3:10 p.m.
To celebrate the launch of the new service, Caribbean Star is offering special introductory fares starting at just US$69 each way for flights between Trinidad and Curacao.
Special introductory fares are applicable to purchases made by December 1, 2006 for travel anytime after the December 1, 2006 launch date.
The announcement of the new Curacao service comes on the heels of last week’s news that Caribbean Star has been successfully re-certified under new Civil Aviation Regulations passed in Antigua and Barbuda earlier this year.
Caribbean Star had previously announced intentions to expand to Curacao in May 2006, but the service was postponed before its scheduled start date in July 2006 pending the carrier’s successful re-certification.
“Curacao has been at the center of our expansion plans for quite some time,” said Skip Barnette, president and CEO of Caribbean Star and its sister airline Caribbean Sun. “I’m particularly pleased that the governments of Curacao, Trinidad and Antigua showed their support by authorizing the new service so quickly.”
