PARAMARIBO, Suriname – Surinam Airways (SLM) says it will be suspending its regular twice-weekly flights into Barbados from April 19 this year for operational and commercial reasons.
The airline, which operated the weekly flights on a Sunday and Wednesday, said that this adjustment forms part of its ongoing route network optimisation strategy, aimed at aligning capacity and flight frequencies with current market demand and operational efficiency.
“Barbados will remain an important destination within the Surinam Airways network and will continue to be served on a seasonal basis and/or in connection with specific annual events,” it said, noting that seasonal operations are scheduled to resume for the period July 1, 2026 through January 15, 2027.
