The Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Urban Development, Honourable Marsha Henderson expressed her gratitude that “It is truly an exciting day for regional tourism and as a Minister of Tourism, the end goal of our airlift strategy has always been growth.” She added that “As we re-energise intra-regional travel, I am elated at the continued advancements that our destination continues to realise.” 

Hon. Marsha Henderson emphasised that advancing the country’s airlift by means of interconnectivity is essential to sustaining relationships within the Caribbean region. “St Kitts builds airlift capacity fueling intraregional travel opportunities. We are highly proud as InterCaribbean Airways integrates St Kitts in its present itinerary. As the demand for travel increases, St Kitts persists to build a strong reputation as a must-see destination. InterCaribbean’s collaboration greatly strengthens the interconnectivity between our neighbouring Caribbean brothers and sisters. We promise to stay committed to advancing airlift to the island.”
