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.”
Caribbean Star operates a fleet of 11 aircraft –
four brand-new, state-of-the-art Bombardier Q300s, plus seven Dash-8
300s – each with a 50-seat capacity. Friendly
and attentive in-flight service is provided to all passengers on all
Caribbean Star flights, including a choice of soft drinks, juices and
snacks. With the addition of the new Curacao service, Caribbean Star now
serves 13 Caribbean gateways with more than 635 flights per-week.
