American Airlines has one of the most comprehensive route networks in the Caribbean. Its hub at Miami International Airport (MIA) offers flights to tons of islands across the region. With the recent attack on Venezuela and its President taken into custody, the area saw tons of passengers without a way home from their Caribbean vacations after flights were cancelled this past weekend. American has stepped up to help with this issue by boosting capacity with nearly 7,000 extra seats across 43 additional flights.
Two flights (on routes that American does not normally fly) were added on January 5th. These include flights from both Anguilla’s Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) and the British Virgin Islands’ Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) to San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU). Additional segments were added from the following islands: Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, Curacao, Dominica, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas.
Anthony’s Take: The FAA airspace restrictions have been lifted and passengers are scrambling to get back home. American is leading the way with its efforts. What air travel and tourism to the Caribbean will look like over the next few weeks is still anyone’s guess.
