Delta Expanding Flights to St Kitts

By: - July 2nd, 2016

Delta Airlines is expanding its service to St Kitts and Nevis.

The Nevis Tourism Authority has announced that Delta has added a second flight to its St Kitts schedule for the upcoming winter season.

The new Wednesday Delta St Kitts Flight from Atlanta will operate between mid-December and mid-January in time for the peak holiday season.

The new flight comes in addition to the weekly Saturday flight Delta already operates out of Atlanta.

The schedule will allow for connections from across Delta’s US network and help boost travel to neighboring Nevis.

“This additional flight will make travel to Nevis even easier during what is our busiest period,” said Mark Brantley St. Kitts and Nevis Minister of Foreign Affairs and Aviation and Nevis Tourism Minister. “Our tourism figures support the demand for increased seat capacity and flights to the island and we’re glad that Delta has provided this welcome addition.”
