With new routes linking Antigua, Dominica, St Kitts and St Lucia, what goals are driving Sunrise Airways’ expansion?
Our growth is guided by our “One Caribbean” philosophy: a vision of deep regional integration through practical, people-focused aviation. Operating under three AOCs – Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the OECS – we aim to bridge linguistic and political divides and strengthen mobility for all. Our expansion to new Eastern Caribbean routes supports regional tourism, business and humanitarian logistics, including our bonded warehouse and disaster recovery hub in Port-au-Prince. Every new route supports deeper trade links and regional cooperation – the foundation for true Caribbean integration.

How is regional integration in your ‘One Caribbean’ vision reflected in your partnerships?
The “One Caribbean” vision is at the core of how we plan routes and build partnerships. We look beyond competition, focusing on collaboration with other carriers, tourism boards and regional bodies to create seamless links that otherwise wouldn’t exist. Our tri-AOC (three operating licences) structure makes this practical, enabling us to align operations across different regulatory environments while staying culturally sensitive to local needs.
How important is Sunrise Airways’ commitment to regional resilience?
Over the past year, we have demonstrated our determination to keep the Caribbean connected despite severe challenges. We signed agreements with the OECS Secretariat and the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency, pledging to play a leading role in providing rapid humanitarian airlift to more than 20 Caribbean states in times of crisis.
