American Airlines is adding more flights to Grenada for the summer, with plans to relaunch its route from Charlotte to Grenada. 

The service, which will resume June 4, will operate once weekly on Saturdays. 

The route complements existing American Airlines service to Grenada out of Miami, which operates daily. 

“Visitor arrivals have already started to increase as more people get back to traveling and we anticipate more travelers looking to get away during the summer months,” said Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority. “We’re delighted our airline partners are realizing traveler interest in Grenada and supporting it with new connectivity. The resumption of American Airlines flights from Charlotte opens up great opportunity to travelers from smaller, behind-the-gateway airports to come enjoy the distinctive Caribbean experience that only Grenada offers.”

Grenada recently lifted all of its testing rules for travelers.
