Fort Young Hotel, Roseau Dominica – ( November  24, 2008) – The Fort Young Hotel in Dominica and Sisserou Airways teamed up to ease and improve travel options to the Nature Island.   

Sisserou Airways - a Dominica fully licensed airline runs in partnership with Tennessee based Corporate Flight Management (CFM)  – commenced flights from Saint Maarten and Saint Thomas three times per week to the beautiful island of Dominica early November 2008 and is ready to ease the travel from/to the United States. Flying on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between Sint Maarten and Dominica allows US-travelers to make an easy, reliable and affordable connection. With major US-carriers like American Airlines, US Airways, Continental and Jet Blue flying into Saint Maarten using the Sisserou Airways-connection is a logical choice. Departing Saint Maarten at 4 PM and leaving Dominica on 8 AM and 12.45 Noon with a 45 minute flight, makes it easy to connect on both the inbound as well as the outbound flights. Sisserou Airways uses a 19-seater BAE J32 fully pressured aircraft with a standup cabin for the flights to/from Dominica's Melville Hall Airport.  See www.sisserouairways.com and www.flycma.com  for more details.
