# InterCaribbean Airways

InterCaribbean Airways, Ltd. (formerly known as Air Turks & Caicos) is a regional airline based in the Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory. The airline offers scheduled passenger flights and charter flight services from its hub in Providenciales International Airport. Since its launch in 1991, its travel destinations have expanded to multiple Caribbean islands including Antigua, The Bahamas, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and St. Maarten.

## History

The airline was established in 1991 as InterIsland Airways, Ltd. In 2003, the company rebranded to become Air Turks & Caicos.
In 2008, Air Turks and Caicos merged with SkyKing. The SkyKing brand was integrated into the Air Turks and Caicos operations on 22 October 2008, and by mid-2009 the airline continued operating with a single air operator's certificate.
In November 2013, after operating for 10 years as Air Turks & Caicos, the company rebranded as InterCaribbean Airways.
By June 2019, InterCaribbean Airways added the Embraer ERJ-145 regional jet aircraft to its fleet.
In addition to the ERJ-145 regional jets, the airline currently [as of when?] operates Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia propjets, in addition to one Embraer EMB 120 aircraft, as well as a De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter turboprop aircraft. InterCaribbean also previously operated the Britten-Norman BN-2A Islander twin prop aircraft. The Twin Otter aircraft joined the fleet in December 2015, while the Britten-Norman Islander aircraft has been retired.
In 2022, InterCaribbean Airways gained operational rights in Jamaica as a non-Jamaican airline to operate domestic flights between the island's main airports, Kingston and Montego Bay.
In February 2023, InterCaribbean announced it would start flying from St. Kitts to Barbados' Grantley Adams International Airport.
The airline was crowned "World's Leading Regional Airline 2024" at the prestigious World Travel Awards (WTA) Grand Final Gala Ceremony in Madeira, Portugal. It earlier won the title of "Caribbean's Leading Cabin Crew 2024 of the WTTC"
