In anticipation of a strong rebound in travel demand from the United States this winter, tourism officials have announced that Caribbean Airlines will begin twice weekly non-stop service from John F Kennedy (JFK) International Airport to Antigua and Barbuda.
The Caribbean Airlines service will begin on December 14th, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and is expected to boost last minute holiday bookings and assist returning nationals looking for last minute deals. Service will originate from Port of Spain to VC Bird International Airport and return service from New York's JFK.
Tourism Minister John Maginley has welcomed the prospect of additional air service to Antigua and Barbuda at a time when all signs point to an increase in travel from the United States.

"I am particularly pleased with the timing of this service, since it will facilitate smooth connections from almost all North American gateways as well as European markets such as France, Italy and Germany,” he said.
“This aligns with our strategic vision of providing greater access from some of our key markets."
Airline officials reported a steady increase in bookings since a fare sale was launched ahead of the start of the new service.
