[edit] History

The airline was established in September 2002 and started operations in January 2003 with flights from San Juan to Tortola using Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft. It is owned by Texan businessman Allen Stanford, who also owns sister airline Caribbean Star Airlines, which was established in 2000. They are affiliated, but separate companies. Caribbean Sun grew out of necessity to add more frequencies on certain Caribbean Star destinations, and to add new destinations to Caribbean Star's route system.
