Monday, February 29, Haitian airline Sunrise Airways has expanded its service to Cuba with the launch of its first flights to Camaguey (Cuba).

"These new flights to Camaguey build upon the success of our regularly scheduled service to Santiago de Cuba, which has performed very well since its initial launch in October 2014," https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12292-haiti-economy-sunrise-airways-opens-new-route-to-cuba.html said Philippe Bayard, President of Sunrise Airways "Over the long term, we intend to spread our wings to more of Cuba than any other international airline. Adding larger aircraft types to our fleet, like our new ATR 42, puts us in a strong position to move forward in that direction now."

Sunrise has launched a service to Santiago de Cuba in 2014 on its fleet of Jet Stream 32 but expects to meet higher demand by deploying its new ATR on all flights to Cuba. According to the spokesman Steve Bennett, Sunrise is already considering adding another ATR to its fleet, based on initial demand for the new Camaguey route.
