Despite some challenges experienced in 2023, interCaribbean Airways continues to record impressive growth as it seeks to further its expansion plans.This was the message shared by Lyndon Gardiner, the founder and chairman of the airline after its new direct flight between Jamaica and Barbados arrived at the Grantley Adams International Airport.The new service, which can carry 70 passengers between the two islands, is being hailed as an important milestone by the company, with Gardiner noting that interCaribbean Airways continues to experience great demand for its services.“Yes, we are seeing increased bookings on the routes, and we are actually monitoring them quite closely because we are introducing newer aircraft, greater seating capacity, and we are looking at deploying those to make sure that we are able to meet demands for the [ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup] in the Caribbean. “We have purposely decided to expand our business in the southern Caribbean and so, being a partner, that comes with a lot of responsibility – the responsibility of being able to move people when they need to move. So we are committed to what we are doing, we do have additional resources that we will be deploying on an as-needed basis.”Gardiner added that the company has boosted its resources to handle its increasing flights, following on the heels of logistical issues that led to several cancellations last year.
