St Barth Commuter is a French regional airline based in Gustavia on Saint-Barthélemy and based on the Aéroport Rémy de Haenen .

history

The origins of the St Barth Commuter lie in Air Saint Barthelemy , founded in 1995 , which started operations with de Havilland Canada DHC-6 and initially flew to Philipsburg ( Sint Maarten ). The company was bought by Air Guadeloupe in 1999 together with Air Martinique and Air Saint Martin . The four companies then formed the "Air Guadeloupe Group". On July 1, 2000, the companies merged, resulting in Air Caraïbes .

Immediately after the merger, Air Caraïbes founded the new subsidiary St Barth Commuter , which, like its predecessor, is based on Saint-Barthélemy. Flight operations began with four Britten-Norman BN-2 Islanders . A Piper PA-23 Aztec added to the fleet in June 2002. The first Cessna 208B Grand Caravan was taken over in 2009. This type of aircraft then gradually replaced the older machines.

Destinations

St Barth Commuter offers scheduled flights to the Lesser Antilles . In addition, charter flights are offered to various destinations in the Caribbean .
