Caribbean Sun Airlines yesterday announced a two-phase shutdown of all flight operations. Phase one consists of the termination of all Caribbean Sun flights between San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The last flight between those two cities will take off Jan. 16. Phase two consists of the termination of all remaining flight operations and the closure of the airline’s operational hub at Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport in San Juan. Caribbean Sun’s final day of flight operations is Jan. 31.
Caribbean Sun passengers holding confirmed tickets for travel between San Juan and Santo Domingo after Jan. 16 or tickets for travel to or from all other Caribbean Sun gateways after Jan. 31 will be re-accommodated on alternate service operated by Cape Air, Caribbean Airlines (formerly BWIA) or LIAT. In cases where alternate service cannot be arranged, passengers will receive full refunds.
Passengers are encouraged to call Caribbean Sun at 800-723-1111 for further details. Caribbean Star commenced merger talks with LIAT in October.
