SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico,
Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Seaborne Airlines wishes to advise passengers traveling to and from
Dominica that all Seaborne
services into Dominica (DOM) have
been suspended effective immediately through September 16, 2015, as a result of damage
inflicted on the airport from Tropical Storm Erika.
To accommodate passengers and all relief efforts to support
Dominica, Seaborne Airlines will
be substantially boosting scheduled passenger services into
Point-a-Pitre on the Island of Guadeloupe. All passengers
booked on Seaborne Airlines will be offered the opportunity to
re-book their flights into Guadeloupe, or on existing schedule service to
Fort-de-France, Martinique at no expense. The islands of
Guadeloupe and Martinique have regular ferry service to
Dominica.
"We are devastated to learn of the loss of life and sustained
damage that has occurred in Dominica as a result of Tropical Storm Erika,"
said Gary Foss, CEO of Seaborne
Airlines, "Our company and our employees are making all efforts to
help travelers, relief workers, and the citizenry of Dominica at this time."
During the next several weeks, Seaborne will operate up to three
times daily service between San Juan Luis Munoz Marin International
Airport and Point-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Seaborne will continue
to maintain three times weekly service from San Juan to Fort-de-France, Martinique, which also has regularly scheduled
ferry service to Dominica. In San Juan, passengers can
connect to other Seaborne flights in the Caribbean, and partner airlines Air Europa,
American, Delta, JetBlue, and United. Passengers will be able
to connect to 33 destinations in the Americas and Europe in tandem with these
carriers. Schedule detail is provided below:
