AA to Start Charlotte-Barbados Airlift in December

American Airlines has announced the addition of non-stop, daily service from Charlotte Douglas International Airport to Grantley Adams International Airport beginning December 19th.

This announcement comes just weeks after the carrier unveiled its third daily flight from Miami International Airport to Barbados, which is set to launch on the same day.

The island anticipates a demand for additional flight service given the growth in US arrival numbers, which have risen year after year. In 2017, Barbados welcomed 188,970 US visitors – a 30-year high.

High-level airline partnerships have been a cornerstone effort for the Barbados Tourism Marketing. This strategy has led to increased airlift and the introduction of new gateways including Fort Lauderdale, Boston and Newark.
