Delta Airlines is expanding its service to the US Virgin Island of St Croix.

The carrier will be expanding its Atlanta-St Croix route to daily service over the Christmas holiday season, according to the US Virgin Islands Department of T’ourism.

Delta already operates twice-weekly winter service from Atlanta to St Croix.

The daily flights will operate from Dec. 17 to Jan. 7, 2017.

“These new flights demonstrate the strong performance of the existing service as well as Delta’s commitment to the island of St. Croix,” said Nicholson-Doty, who welcomed the additional seats over the busy travel season.

It’s not yet clear if Delta is considering making the flights permanent.
