British Airways adds extra Gatwick-Barbados services for Easter 2023

The additional ten flights will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays to/from the London airport and Bridgetown.

The new flights will have the capacity to bring an extra 3,336 UK visitors to the Caribbean destination over the Easter period and will increase the carrier’s capacity from Gatwick to eight flights a week.

From October 2022, the airline will operate five times a week from Gatwick to Bridgetown.

Chair of the Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc (BTMI), Shelly Williams, said:  "British Airways is a long-standing partner, that continues to demonstrate commitment to Barbados.

"Our mutually beneficial relationship has grown from strength to strength, even in the face of challenges such as the pandemic, fluctuating pound and rising fuel costs."

The announcement comes off the back of Barbados removing all Covid-19-induced travel restrictions.
