BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, NOVEMBER 8TH 2007 (CUOPM) - The American Airlines flight from John F. Kennedy International in New York and the Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta into St. Kitts’ Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport will provide convenient travel options for nationals and visitors.
In anticipation of the increased need for airlift to support the additional rooms and demand for first-class seats, the new non-stop service will commence to St. Kitts from JFK on American Airlines in November 18th this year and from Atlanta on Delta in February next year.
Travel agencies are of the view that the flights will provide more convenient travel options for visitors and nationals from two top affluent markets, while simultaneously allowing for connections to these flights from additional United States and international gateways, particularly those in the Upper Mid-West region of the US and from Canada.
