interCaribbean Airways is adding Martinique to its Barbados hub. From January 25, 2027, the carrier will fly nonstop between Grantley Adams and Martinique Aimé Césaire three times a week, about 55 minutes each way.
The route is the latest step in a year of expansion out of Barbados: Trinidad in March, single-ticket connections to Air Canada in April, Embraer E170 jets in August. Flights are already on sale, according to an airline press release.
Connections through Barbados
Onward connections listed by the carrier include Guyana, Trinidad, Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Maarten, Tortola, The Bahamas, Jamaica and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
“Improving connectivity within the Caribbean remains central to our strategy,” said Trevor Sadler, CEO of interCaribbean Airways.

Network, fleet and awards
The Martinique route follows several announcements made by the airline in 2026. In March, it launched a direct service between Barbados and Trinidad. On April 1, it signed an interline agreement with Air Canada, offering single-ticket connections through Barbados and Antigua to the Canadian carrier’s network, including Toronto and Montreal.
On August 24, interCaribbean started scheduled Embraer E170 service, with two aircraft in service and six more due. The airline says it is the only carrier in the world operating three Embraer platforms at once: the EMB 120, the ERJ 145 and the E170. In October, it won three World Travel Awards, including Caribbean’s Leading Regional Airline 2026. The carrier says it now serves more than 28 destinations across the region.
From one Cessna to a regional network
The airline’s story began in 1992 in the Turks and Caicos Islands, when Lyndon Gardiner started flying with a single Cessna, a small propeller aircraft. The company was renamed Air Turks & Caicos in 2003 and became interCaribbean Airways in 2013. In 2020, it expanded to Barbados, Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Guyana and Dominica. It is headquartered in Providenciales, in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
