British Airways will be changing its flight schedule to St Kitts’ Robert L Bradshaw International Airport.

The company will be modifying its flight service from Tuesdays to Wednesdays, according to the St Kitts Tourism Authority.

The service change will take effect beginning Oct. 26, with the first Wednesday flight on Oct. 29.

British Airways flights will still be tagged with Antigua, with the flight numbers remaining the same.

Flight times will remain constant, with arrival in St Kitts at 4:35 PM.

In a statement, St Kitts Tourism Authority CEO Racquel Brown said Wednesday was a “convenient mid-week day for leisure travel, which still provides a good variety of lengths of stay.”

““We warmly thank British Airways for their ongoing support to St. Kitts. We have a very high regard for the team from British Airways,” she said. “This solid partnership supports us in our efforts to increase tourist arrivals substantially from the UK and European markets and, more significantly, to help us maintain the upmarket quality of the St. Kitts brand image.”

British Airways currently operates three-class service from London Gatwick Airport, with 102 premium seats and 124 world taveller seats.
