The cries of the people of the Caribbean who have, “suffered from exorbitant air fare” and “uncertain airlift” have not fallen on deaf ears and will be answered through the opening of a new Caribbean-based airline. The airline, SKN Air Express, the hub of which will be in St. Kitts – Nevis, is scheduled to begin operations next Saturday, offering chartered flights to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Jamaica and Guyana.

A representative of the company spoke with the SUN and explained that the overwhelming need for a more efficient, effective and up-to-date Caribbean airline was one of the main factors which influenced the formation of this company. “One of the factors that influenced us in making the decision to bring this new airline to the Federation is that we are very cognisant that adequate airlift is vital to the development of tourism in the Federation as well as the Caribbean. “We are also aware of the cries of the people of the Federation and the diaspora of the exorbitance of intro-regional airlift. Having heard the cries, we thought it best to bring a safe and more efficient service.”
