Nearly 125 nationals and visitors were returned home to the United Kingdom on charter flights last month following the collapse of XL Leisure Group.

General Manager of TDC Airlines, Mr. Elroy Lewis said 56 passengers departed the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in St. Kitts on board a British Airways jet on September 14th. Sixty eight passengers were flown to Antigua on two LIAT aircraft where they were taken to London by Virgin Atlantic.

“Any passenger remaining here will have to fly back to the United Kingdom at their own cost,” said Lewis.

CCA said the flights carried an estimated 83,000 customers who were returned home on 222 flights chartered to fly to 40 destinations in the 17 days since XL went bust.

It is getting tougher to reach St. Kitts and Nevis by air.

High fuel prices may force a second airline out of the Caribbean market less than two months prior to the onset of the traditional tourism season, which could have a major and unwelcome impact on the number of visitors reaching the Federation.  Carib Aviation officials have publicly said the company will cease flight operations on Sept. 30 and close down altogether on Oct. 5, but sources in the firm say the decisions are not final.

Other company officials, who refused to allow their names to be used, also said the situation remains flexible.

Should Carib Aviation shut down, it will severe the air link between Antigua and St. Kitts and Nevis. This has been a traditional route used by tourists from the United Kingdom and Europe.

Carib currently flies as a subcontractor for LIAT in the Federation. No one at LIAT was available to discuss future plans if the Carib closure goes forward.

Carib’s announcement comes just two weeks after XL Airways announced that it was ceasing flights between six Caribbean destinations and London. XL carried about 7,000 passengers to St. Kitts each year.
