Island-hopping between the English- and French-speaking Caribbean gets a little easier this winter. Regional carrier interCaribbean Airways will begin nonstop service between Barbados and Martinique on Monday, Jan. 25, 2027, with flights three times a week.
The route will operate Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on ATR turboprop aircraft, with about 55 minutes in the air. Flight JY722 leaves Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados at 10:55 a.m. and arrives at Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport in Fort-de-France at 11:50 a.m. The return, JY723, departs Martinique at 12:20 p.m. and lands in Barbados at 1:15 p.m. All times are local.
With the aircraft turning around in Martinique after 30 minutes, the schedule suits clients building a two-island itinerary with at least a couple of nights on each end, as opposed to day-trippers.
“Martinique is an important addition to our network and another step toward bringing Caribbean communities closer together,” said Trevor Sadler, CEO of interCaribbean Airways.
The timing is built around the airline’s Barbados hub, where travelers can connect to Guyana, Trinidad, Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Maarten, and Tortola, along with the Bahamas, Jamaica, and the Turks and Caicos Islands farther north. The hub also opens a new path into Martinique for visitors arriving in Barbados on international flights.
Flights are on sale now, including through travel agencies, giving advisors a fresh option for clients who want to pair Barbados with a taste of the French Caribbean.
