Caribbean Star Airlines
Caribbean Star Airlines Limited is an airline servicing the Caribbean and surrounding areas. Founded in Antigua in January 2000, it began operations that following June. Caribbean Star Airlines services the following areas: Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Guyana, Grenada, Netherlands Antilles, Trinidad & Tobago, St Kitts, St Lucia, and St Vincent.

Caribbean Star Airlines had also partnered with a sister airline, Caribbean Sun Airlines, Inc. in order to better service many of the same ports of entry. Though they were financed by the same man, and though they are affiliated, they are separate companies. On January 9, 2007 Caribbean Sun announced that they would cease operations on January 31, 2007.

Caribbean Star Airlines offers flights on a modern fleet of fuel-efficient, comfortable, and reliable much smaller planes than we’re typically used to flying in. Because the flights are often very short and passengers are, truly, in fact “island hopping” the model Dash-8 300 and 100 series turboprop aircraft are what is used. The 300 series used by Caribbean Star seat 50 people and the 100 series offer seating for just 37, a number almost unheard of in commercial flights, from city to city.

Caribbean Star Airlines offer an interesting array of services to its customers. First and foremost, Caribbean Star Airlines prides itself on their own and their partner’s excellence in customer service and the way that translates into a more comfortable, cleaner, consistently safer trip for you as you go exploring.

Caribbean Star in partnership with it’s soon to be defunct sister Caribbean Sun used to offer direct connections to places like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The two airlines also offered expanded ticketing options to continue your trip even further on Caribbean Sun airlines.

It’s difficult to say if it was lack of interest or stiff competition that put under the sister Caribbean Sun. In either event, the website for both airlines has notified that the frequent flier benefits from both airlines will continue to be honored on Caribbean Star Airlines.
