Norwegian will launch nonstop service to Guadeloupe and Martinique from Providence’s T.F. Green Airport beginning in October. Additionally, Norwegian is increasing its service to the French Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to three weekly flights to Guadeloupe and adding a new route to Martinique with thrice weekly service for the 2017/18 winter season.
Launch fares of $79 one-way to both Guadeloupe and Martinique are now available for sale at Norwegian.com/us. The website’s low fare calendar also displays the lowest available fares to all of Norwegian’s destinations. Flights from New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to both islands were launched in 2015 and this winter season, Norwegian will operate six weekly flights to Guadeloupe from JFK and four weekly flights to Martinique.
Norwegian will now operate eight routes from Providence, making the airline one of two carriers with the most routes from T.F. Green Airport. To accommodate the growth from T.F. Green Airport, Norwegian will open its fourth American crew base in Providence this summer. Norwegian’s Fort Lauderdale service now also includes eight routes from this South Florida airport.
– We are excited to increase our presence in Rhode Island and also add even more flights from Florida. With eight routes to such exciting and vastly different destinations as the French Caribbean, Scotland, Ireland, Norway and Northern Ireland, we can truly offer the millions of people in and around Providence a variety of travel options based on their interests,” said Thomas Ramdahl, Norwegian’s Chief Commercial Officer.
– This is Norwegian’s third announcement for new service at T.F Green Airport in just a few months. Norwegian is now the largest international airline at Providence offering eight nonstop destinations, which mirrors the nonstop destinations offered by our largest domestic carrier. We truly appreciate this commitment and ongoing partnership with Norwegian, and look forward to growing the international market out of Providence together,” said Iftikhar Ahmad, President and CEO of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation.
Twice-weekly flights to Guadeloupe from Providence will launch on October 29 and twice-weekly flights to Martinique on October 30. Thrice-weekly flights from Fort Lauderdale to Guadeloupe will launch on November 2 and twice-weekly flights to Martinique on October 30.
– The new connection from Providence, with its great proximity to both Boston and Connecticut, is exciting as it will allow more American travelers much smoother and more affordable access to the Guadeloupe Islands. In the last two years, our French Caribbean archipelago has become the top emerging destination from the US thanks to major media recognition, new flights and now almost daily flights out of New York City. Additionally, the service launched last year from Fort Lauderdale is working very well with the cruise industry,” said Sandra Venite, USA Director, Guadeloupe Islands Tourist Board.
– With an almost 200% increase in U.S. visitors last year, Martinique is thrilled to welcome even more American travelers from the New England area as Norwegian is opening its nonstop route from Providence to our island. Our award-winning island will roll out blue waters, green trails, a red carpet and a warm welcome to all. A vacation in Martinique is a superb experience; there is a ‘je ne sais quoi’ to be remembered in its vibrant culture, délicieuse cuisine, magnificent gardens and, most importantly, in the warmth of its people. Thanks to Norwegian, Martinique is now more affordable and accessible than ever,” said Muriel Wiltord, Director Americas of the Martinique Promotion Bureau.
