Chairman of Dominica Air Transport Licenses Board (DATLB), Benoit Bardouille says consequent upon granting a route license to Air France for Dominic, Air France flying to Dominica will make travel from France to the island much easier, in lieu of its various benefits.
Bardouille nates that travelers should experience more flexibility and a cheaper price with this initiative. He said, “you will now be able to buy a ticket from France, Orly, or through Charles de Gaulle, where you will be able to fly directly to Dominica with a connecting airline. Without route licenses you won’t be able to do that. It makes the air fair cheaper as well, because Air France would fly you to Guadeloupe. From Guadeloupe, you would be able to pick up Winair or Air Antilles to Dominica”. He added, “That is good because it means same day connection, and you would not have to come back and check your baggage in Guadeloupe, because they have codeshare agreements with those airlines, and what they needed was route licenses to be able to do that. So, we’ve granted that and also to Air Caribe’s, and right now those airlines can sell flights to Dominica although air France and Air Caribe’s do not come to Dominica, but they can sell out of France to Dominica”. Bardouille concluded by saying, “There is work being done in route licenses and looking for opportunities as we discuss with the air access committee on things that can happen. This board is in fact looking at how we can access routes with the various airlines as they make their request”.
