“At Cape Air we continuously monitor the demand in the Caribbean market, and we have the capacity and resources to respond very quickly, as Anguilla reopens its borders for tourism, increased reliable air service will benefit visitors and locals alike,” said Linda Markham, President of Cape Air. “We are fully committed to maintaining our business operations at the highest levels while keeping our communities connected.”
Cape Air’s partnerships with major carriers ensure easier and faster combined itineraries and provide more efficient connectivity in the Caribbean. Passengers can check their baggage through and receive connecting boarding passes, as long as the reservation is booked on a single itinerary.
“We are indeed happy that Cape Air has once again made Anguilla one of its destinations. This route will serve us well given the tremendous diaspora we have in the USVI. We look forward to growing the route – and a long and successful relationship between Cape Air and the Government and people of Anguilla,” said the Honourable Haydn Hughes, Anguilla’s Minister of MICUH and Tourism.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, Cape Air implemented enhanced safety precautions and cleaning procedures to ensure its passengers’ and employees’ health and well-being. Before each flight, employees thoroughly disinfect surfaces using approved cleaning agents – following the CDC’s guidance on suggested sterilisation methods. Additionally, Cape Air’s fleet flies at lower altitudes, which means fresh air cycles throughout the cabin. Pressurised/recycled air is never used.
As part of the measures to promote health and safety, Cape Air requires all passengers to wear face masks or coverings at their check-in counters, gate areas, and onboard the aircraft. Cape Air asks its passengers to bring masks or face coverings; however, masks are provided should a passenger not have one available.
