On Monday, April 28, 2025, the private Haitian airline Sunrise Airways announced the official expansion of its network, with the granting of a third operating certificate in the Caribbean. Following Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Antigua-Barbuda confirmed its status as a certified airline.

On April 16, after a first year of operations in the Lesser Antilles as a member of Caricom, Sunrise Airways obtained its air operator certificate from the aviation authorities of Antigua and Barbuda for its third airline, Sunrise Airways Dominica (Antigua & Barbuda), joining Sunrise Airways SA (Haiti) and Sunrise Airways Dominicana (Dominican Republic). This certificate, issued by the authorities that are part of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), will allow Sunrise Airways to have international access to the 12 members of the Organization.

Sunrise emphasizes, "Obtaining a certificate is a long and rigorous process. This 'permit to fly' proves that the company is in good administrative and legal standing, has qualified personnel, has adequate safety procedures, and possesses the technical and financial resources to operate aircraft safely. Sunrise Airways, which has become a major player in the region's skies, meets all the criteria of a demanding sector and a highly competitive market."
