Continuando ad espandere una partnership di successo tra compagnia aerea e destinazione, American Airlines volerà un secondo volo non-stop settimanale dall'aeroporto internazionale John F.K di New York (JFK) a St.Kitts il mercoledì, integrando l'attuale servizio non-stop del sabato del vettore da JFK .
"Sono molto lieto di accogliere con favore l'aggiunta di questo volo infrasettimanale da parte di American Airlines", ha detto l'On. Sig. Lindsay FP Grant, Ministro del turismo, commercio internazionale, industria e commercio. “È meraviglioso ricevere questo servizio aggiuntivo da un partner prezioso, che fornisce sia ai visitatori che alla Diaspora più modi per raggiungere l'isola dal nostro mercato di origine primaria. Questa è una testimonianza della fiducia degli americani nel nostro prodotto turistico ".
A partire dal 18 dicembre 2019, American Airlines opererà il volo utilizzando un Boeing 176 da 757 posti con 16 posti in business class fino a febbraio, e poi un Boeing 160 da 738 posti con 16 posti in business class con il seguente orario: -
Depart Arrive
JFK 8:30 am SKB 1:40 pm
SKB 2:35 pm JFK 6:20 pm
* Nota: i voli sono elencati in ora locale e gli orari sono soggetti a modifiche.
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.
