Hurricanes • Natural Disasters

The Charter company does not have a hurricane or natural disaster policy: "We really do it "case by case" or better to say situation by situation. When hurricane hit Grenada, we offered reschedule, so I believe if anything like that happens, we will be flexible as always, at least in changing the destination."
