American Airlines Increases Service to St. Kitts

The St. Kitts Tourism Authority announced that American Airlines will be increasing service to St. Kitts from Miami to daily flights beginning November 3, 2008.

American Airlines flight 2299 will depart MIA daily at 10:50 a.m. arriving into St. Kitts at 2:50 p.m. The return flight 2280 will depart St. Kitts at 3:45 p.m. arriving into MIA at 6:05 p.m. American Airlines will use a 148 seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 16 first class seats and 132 economy seats for these flights.

American Airlines first started a Miami service to St. Kitts in December 2004 with three flights weekly, which grew to five flights in 2006. American Airlines also commenced a twice weekly service from JFK to St. Kitts in November 2007.

“Such a significant increase in non-stop service by American Airlines during a time of widespread route cuts by US carriers is a testament to the quality of St. Kitts’ tourism product,” said Senator Ricky Skerritt, Minister of State in the Ministry of Tourism, Sports & Culture.
