Scheduled and charter air services provide crucial transportation between Grenada and Carriacou, bridging the roughly 27 nautical miles separating these two islands of the Grenadines. This connection facilitates the movement of residents, tourists, and essential goods, supporting both economies and daily life.
Air travel offers a significantly faster alternative to ferry services, typically completing the journey in approximately 15-20 minutes. This rapid transit is vital for time-sensitive travel, medical emergencies, and efficient cargo transport. The availability of regular flights contributes to Carriacou’s accessibility, fostering tourism and economic growth while maintaining close ties with mainland Grenada. This accessibility plays a crucial role in preserving Carriacou’s unique culture and supporting its community.
