Puerto Rico-based Seaborne Airlines made its first-ever flight to St Kitts on Wednesday.
The flight, which departed from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, continued after St Kitts to land at Nevis’ Vance Amory International Airport.
Seaborne, which announced its move to Puerto Rico last month, is operating the service with 34-seat Saab aircraft with two pilots and a flight attendant.
The flights depart San Juan at 3:25 PM and arrive in St Kitts at 4:50, before departing for Nevis at 5:10 and arriving at 5:30.
The flight departs Nevis the following morning at 7 AM, arrives in St Kitts at 7:30 AM and returns to Puerto Rico at 7:50 AM.
The carrier is in the midst of a major expansion in the Caribbean, with four more 34-seat Saabs on the way this year.
Seaborne will receive an official welcome in St Kitts next week.
