American Airlines adding more Barbados flights

A major announcement as it relates to airlift into Barbados. American Airlines will now be doubling the number of gateways from the United States to Barbados. This announcement was made by Minister of Tourism and International Transport Ian Gooding-Edghill. This new development will bring the total number of gateways out of the United States that serve Barbados to seven - the largest number of gateways from the United States to Barbados in history. Minister Gooding-Edghill explained that it will start for the winter season in 2024 and gave some more details. He says this will bring another 35,000 seats to the island. This, along with the announcement two weeks ago of Delta Airlines returning to Barbados, will increase the total to 65,000 seats.
