British Airways will operate extra services from Gatwick to Barbados next Easter.

In total, 10 flights will be added between 26 March to 16 April, operating on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, allowing for an extra 3,336 UK visitors to the island over the holiday period.

Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc Chairman Shelly Williams said: “Increasing services between London Gatwick and Barbados at a time that other carriers are opting to redirect their services to shorter haul destinations, speaks volumes for destination Barbados and our relationship management.

“Easter has always been special to us, so this new capacity is particularly welcomed during this key period for the UK travel trade and our tourism partners in Barbados.”

This news comes on the back of the recent announcement that Barbados has lifted all COVID restrictions.
