AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoAir Antilles Shutdown: The French-Caribbean carrier Air Antilles has permanently closed after a Guadeloupe court ordered liquidation, ending a long-running link between Martinique, Guadeloupe and nearby islands—after a safety license revocation, a $69M debt spiral, and months of court protection. Regional Connectivity Push: While one airline exits, LIAT is adding routes: it launched the first nonstop Antigua–Guadeloupe service (twice weekly) and is already in talks with ferry operator L’Express des Iles to stitch together air-and-sea travel across the Eastern Caribbean. Tourism Signals: A Caribbean travel trends report flags slower regional growth and heavier reliance on specific source markets, even as Guadeloupe’s new route is expected to lift arrivals. Culture & Attention: Dominica’s Waitukubuli Dance Theatre marks 55 years with “Rhythms of Our Roots,” and Guadeloupe’s wider region keeps getting spotlighted online—from IShowSpeed’s Caribbean livestream tour to official destination social media leaders like Puerto Rico and Jamaica.
