After this summer of horrible hurricanes, many regions and islands were completely destroyed. The Caribbean is still rebuilding, but travel to the area has returned.
One of the first airlines to get back into the region was Tradewind Aviation. The private airline company was the first on the ground in St. Barts after Hurricane Irma passed through the region. Brothers and co-founders David and Eric Zipkin join Cheddar to explain that despite the devastation, the Caribbean is picking up and moving forward.
The co-founders also discuss their new agreement with United Airlines. The private aviation company has entered into an agreement where customers can book travel to one of Tradewind's island destinations through United Airlines.
