Cape Air to Add San Juan – Anguilla Flights
US regional carrier Cape Air is to operate a further four weekly flights between San Juan in Puerto Rico and Anguilla from December. The airline inaugurated a twice daily schedule on December 22, 2010, but confirms that exactly one year on it will add a further four weekly rotations, meaning that three daily flights will be offered on four separate days.
Cape Air uses its Cessna 402s on the route, one of many flights it operates across the US and the Caribbean. “The Cape Air model of high-frequency flights and easy connections with the mainland is a needed service on Anguilla,” said Andrew Bonney, Vice President of Planning, Cape Air. “We are thrilled to be at a point already where it makes economic sense to add capacity on Anguilla. With a fleet of 66 aircraft, Cape Air can add as many seats as Anguilla needs, in an economically rational and sustainable way.”
The route has certainly been a success for Cape Air. It carried an estimated 5,300 O&D passengers in the first four months of this year and highlights its partnerships with JetBlue Airways and Continental Airlines as helping its distribution and increasing access to Anguilla as a tourism destination.
