St Lucia: New flights to boost property market

St Lucia’s property market is due to receive a boost when three major airlines commence new flights this autumn.

British Airways are increasing their direct flights from Gatwick to St Lucia from three to five times per week from October 2009 and there is a new weekly service from Frankfurt due to start on 1st November 2009. In the US, Jet Blue has announced a new route flying to St Lucia three times a week from New York.

St Lucia’s glorious beaches, low crime rates and low taxes are part of the attraction of buying in the country. Hopefully the new flight routes will help improve holiday home occupancy rates and rental yields.
