Saint Barth Executive

edit

Saint Barth Executive is a French airline based on the island of Saint Barthélemy that offers scheduled and chartered flights to destinations throughout the Caribbean, the Southern United States, and Central America.

History

edit

Saint Barth Executive was founded in 2018 by members of the Loret Group, a vehicle distribution and fiber optic company based in Guadeloupe.[1] While Saint Barth Executive is headquartered in Saint Barth's Gustaf III Airport, the company has secondary bases on Saint Marten and Guadeloupe. The main hangar is located at the Saint Maarten Grand Case-Espérance Airport to provide maintenance to Saint Barth Executive’s fleet of Pilatus PC-12s.

While Saint Barth Executive began as a charter airline exclusively, in spring 2024 it was announced that they would begin offering scheduled flights from Saint Barth to meet the growing demand for travel in the region.[2] This news coincided with the delivery of their fourth Pilatus PC-12.

Also in Spring 2024, Saint Barth Executive announced its plans to create a dedicated brand for its scheduled flights called Air Inter Isles. This company will fly three Tecnam P2012 STOL aircraft on the route between Saint Barth and Guadeloupe. Up to six flights per day will be offered during the high season of tourism. Air Inter Isles plans to commence operations in June 2024.[3]
