International Airlines Group's British Airways on March 28 announced its first flights to Aruba and Guyana, taking it to 17 destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean.
British Airways operates more routes to the Caribbean and Mexico than any other UK airline, with Aruba and Guyana bringing the total number of destinations served in the region to 17.
The Aruba route is twice a week via Antigua while the Guyana flies as often but via St. Lucia,.
“This is such a special day – I’m so proud that British Airways is flying to my home country and to be able to travel on the inaugural flight has been an amazing homecoming," said cabin crew member Arelis Spanner.
However the carrier announced separately it would be cancelling hundreds of Easter flights out of London Heathrow Airport due to strikes by airport workers during the holiday.
