Saint Lucia announces expanded travel options with NavigAir from France

The government of Saint Lucia was thrilled to announce that the island is all set to introduce enhanced service from Air Caraïbes called NavigAir. This expansion will ease European and French travellers seeking to travel to the island nation for an ideal vacation. Minister of Tourism Ernest Hilaire said that the development follows the recent launch of Air Caraïbes flight TX510 from France to Fort-de-France which will further connect to Saint Lucia via L’Express des Iles. It is to be noted that the flight from Orly, Paris to Martinique, the shuttle service from the airport to the seaport in Martinique and the ferry service onto Saint Lucia on L’Express Des Isles will also be included in one price, with travellers arriving in Saint Lucia on the same day.

Minister Hilaire also noted that the expanded route is designed in a way that will streamline travel for visitors between French regions and Saint Lucia.

According to the information, this new service will be available on Thursdays and Sundays. The flight TX511 on Thursday will depart from Orly at 12:00 noon and will arrive at Fort de France, Martinique at 3:55 pm. Meanwhile, the ferry service will depart from FDF at 10:15 pm and will arrive at Castries Ferry Terminal around 11:45 pm. In addition to this, the Sunday flight will leave Orly the same as on Thursday but the ferry service will depart from Martinique around 7:15 pm, further arriving in Saint Lucia at 8:45 pm. NavigAir will also be available from Paris to St Martin, Guadeloupe and Dominica with onward connections to Saint Lucia through Express Des Iles. Minister Hilaire also said that the return service from Saint Lucia to Martinique, Guadeloupe and Dominica with connections to Paris will be available on Saturdays to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

While announcing the enhanced travel option, Minister Ernest Hilaire also highlighted that this development not only enriches the visitor experience but will also bolster the economy. He added that with this increased connectivity, more individuals can now participate in the vibrant festivities and cultural events which makes the island a truly unique place.
