A little fact checking or better phrasing wouldn't have hurt... "The island’s other airport, Grand Case International Airport, reopened to commercial flights in September; the airport offers daily flights to and from Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Bart’s and to and from destinations in Europe, Canada and the United States."

I do agree that 'daily flights' like the article says should indicate direct flights.
