JetBlue has launched its inaugural nonstop flight connecting Boston and Grenada.

The year round flight, operated on JetBlue’s 159-seat A321 MINT aircraft marks a milestone for connectivity in Grenada.

The Grenada Tourism Authority and JetBlue celebrated the occasion with a gate ceremony including lively entertainment, authentic Grenadian cuisine and remarks by Grenada’s Minister of Tourism, Lennox Andrews, and JetBlue’s Daniel Blake.

In addition to the gate celebration, the GTA held a dinner at Grenadian owned, ZaZiBar Seaport in Boston last week, bringing together GTA officials, representatives from the City of Boston, Grenada hotel representatives, travel experts and more.

The new service will be offered year-round and will operate weekly on Saturdays, departing Boston Logan International Airport at 8 a.m., and arriving at Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport at 1:43 p.m.

The return flight departs Grenada at 3:03 p.m. and arrives in Boston at 7:04 p.m.

The addition of this service marks JetBlue’s second nonstop route to Grenada, joining the existing daily nonstop service from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
