Air Sunshine is one of the oldest independent commuter airlines in the region, serving San Juan (SJU), St. Thomas (STT), St. Croix (STX), Tortola (EIS), Virgin Gorda (VIJ), St. Maarten (SXM), Anguilla (AXA), Nevis (NEV), St. Kitts (SKB), Dominica (DOM), Vieques (VQS) and St. Lucia (SLU). The St. Lucia service began on October 11, 2018 and the company served SLU on a regular basis through January 28, 2019. However, service had to be stopped due several operational issues at SLU. The good news, however, is that with the help of authorities these issues are being resolved and the company expects Air Sunshine is under FAA certification to operate a 30-seat SAAB 340 that operates with two pilots and a flight attendant. Therefore, no matter what your travel needs or size of your group, more than likely you can be accommodated. The company also offers cargo service and small package delivery on its regular flights as well as cargo charter flights for bulk shipments.
