Fortsetter å utvide et vellykket partnerskap med flyselskap og destinasjon, og American Airlines flyr en andre ukentlig direkteflyvning fra New Yorks John F. K International Airport (JFK) til St. Kitts på onsdager, og supplerer transportørens eksisterende nonstop lørdagstjeneste fra JFK .
"Jeg er veldig glad for å ønske velkommen tilføringen av denne flyreisen midt i uken med American Airlines," sa Hon. Mr. Lindsay FP Grant, minister for turisme, internasjonal handel, industri og handel. “Det er fantastisk å motta denne tilleggstjenesten fra en verdsatt partner, som gir besøkende og diaspora flere måter å komme seg til øya fra vårt primære kildemarked. Dette er et bevis på amerikanernes tillit til vårt turistprodukt. ”
Fra og med 18. desember 2019 vil American Airlines kjøre flyet ved hjelp av en Boeing 176 med 757 seter med 16 business class-seter til februar, og deretter en Boeing 160 med 738 seter med 16 seter i business class med følgende tidsplan: -
Depart Arrive
JFK 8:30 am SKB 1:40 pm
SKB 2:35 pm JFK 6:20 pm
* Merk: Flyreiser er oppført i lokal tid og tidsplaner kan endres.
Racquel Brown, CEO of the St. Kitts Tourism Authority, added, “The timing of this additional flight is particularly significant, as American just launched summer non-stop service from Dallas this past weekend and expanded twice-daily service from Miami International Airport (MIA) to 5 days a week in 2017. The addition of mid-week service year-round from the New York metropolitan area indicates a growth in the marketplace concurrent with our marketing initiatives. This new service is part of our specific strategy to grow our tourism industry by building out airlift from select target gateways with our air partners to support the destination’s expanding hotel product.”

American Airlines is the carrier operating the most seats into St. Kitts. In addition to the new Wednesday non-stop service from JFK, American also serves St. Kitts non-stop on Saturdays from JFK and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) year-round. The carrier also flies to St. Kitts non-stop on Saturdays from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in the summer, with service having just launched May 25, 2019. American further provides year-round, non-stop daily service to St. Kitts from MIA, with twice-daily flights operating five times weekly (Wednesday through Sunday).
American’s new Wednesday JFK flight provides extra capacity to carry passengers to island, thereby supporting potential air arrivals growth for St. Kitts for 2020. Already for the first four months of 2019, St. Kitts is reporting a systemwide increase in air passenger arrivals of +14.5% as compared to the same period in 2018. From all North American carriers, St. Kitts’ air passenger arrivals increased +17.2% for January through April 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.
