Published on: December 15, 2008

Anguilla’s Ministry of Tourism announced the launch of a new executive air service which will operate between San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Anguilla. The new service, scheduled to start on Feb. 14, will be provided on the Anguilla Air Express, and operated by Rainbow International Airlines Inc. Rainbow International Airlines Inc. currently operates executive charter service out of major hubs in the Caribbean including San Juan, St. Maarten, Antigua, Barbados and St. Kitts. They also serve a number of five-star properties, including Malliouhana Hotel, Four Seasons and Raffles. The Anguilla Air Express will operate a Beechcraft 1900D Turbo Prop Airplane with seating capacity for 19 in leather reclining cabin chairs on this route. A captain and first officer will pilot the flight.

Departures out of San Juan are at 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. and departures from Anguilla are at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and flying time is approximately 46 minutes. Bookings will be made direct using an 800 number or online, and negotiations are currently underway for guests to be able to book flights through their hotel. Ticket prices start at $399 per person, including taxes. The emphasis of the Anguilla Air Express will be on first-class, personalized service, with an agent meeting all passengers at the gate and escorting them through security and to the departure gate in San Juan, and through Immigration and Customs on arrival in Anguilla. The same level of service will apply on the return journey, with all passengers greeted at aircraft by an agent, then escorted through Immigration and Customs in San Juan.
