New Service Between Grenada and Carriacou
The Grenada Tourism Authority announces the introduction of a new daily service between Grenada and Carriacou, set to operate every Wednesday, handled by SVG Air.
Mid-Week Service
This new service, operated by a 19-seater twin-otter aircraft, will further improve connectivity between the islands, providing travelers with the opportunity to explore Petite Martinique and Carriacou. The service is scheduled to commence on July 3, 2024.
Increased Frequency
The new flight will run weekly, offering an additional travel option along with the current Monday, Tuesday, and Friday to Sunday service.
