Two more daily American Eagle flights between St. Maarten and Puerto Rico are back in the air, just about six months after the airline made a massive cutback here due to high fuel prices.
The airline kept only one daily flight and slashed about four others to the destination leaving travelers with limited options.
Tourism Commissioner Roy Marlin said Wednesday that as of last week the airline has started a second daily flight linking St. Maarten with this important source market. A third daily flight will be back on the monitors early next month.
These three flights as well as Insel Air’s just started twice weekly service between the islands gives St. Maarten “a comfortable airlift” from Puerto Rico, a spot for tourists who cater St. Maarten.
The flights also complement the annual “massive” St. Maarten promotion in Puerto Rico, he added.
