Winair has announced a special airfare promotion for travellers heading to Dominica for the 2026 World Creole Music Festival, offering a 65% discount on flights. The promotion, shared through the Dominica Festivals Facebook page, marks the airline's 65 years in business and is aimed at easing travel costs for festival-goers.
The discount applies to visitors travelling to Dominica for the festival, one of the island's premier cultural events. Winair, which serves several Caribbean destinations, has positioned the offer as a way to encourage greater attendance at the annual celebration of Creole music and culture. The Dominica Festivals page did not specify the exact travel dates or booking window in its announcement, but urged interested travellers to take advantage of the reduced fares.
The World Creole Music Festival is a major highlight of Dominica's cultural calendar, drawing visitors from across the region and the diaspora. Held annually, the festival showcases a range of musical genres, including bouyon, calypso, reggae, and other Creole traditions, and is a key driver of tourism during the island's peak season. The 65% discount is expected to boost participation, particularly among travellers from neighbouring islands served by Winair.
Winair, officially known as Windward Islands Airways International, operates scheduled services to destinations including Antigua, Barbados, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Lucia, among others. The airline's anniversary promotion aligns with broader efforts by Dominica's tourism sector to attract visitors for the festival, which typically features both local and international artistes. The Dominica Festivals page encouraged travellers to monitor Winair's official channels for full details on how to access the discounted fares.
The announcement comes as Dominica continues to promote its cultural events as a cornerstone of its tourism strategy. The festival, which has been held since 1997, is one of the most anticipated events in the Eastern Caribbean, and the discount is seen as a timely boost for those planning to attend. Further information is expected to be released by Winair and festival organisers in the coming weeks.
