Delta Pushes Forward with Caribbean Expansion

Delta Air Lines Inc. on Thursday started nonstop service from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to Antigua and Barbuda. The Atlanta-based carrier already has nonstop service to Antigua and Barbuda from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

“Delta continues to open new Caribbean routes out of JFK to bring New Yorkers closer to beautiful beaches, sun, and relaxation,” said Christophe Didier, Delta vice president of sales and government affairs in Latin America and the Caribbean for Delta. “We have started more than 10 new routes in the Caribbean basin in the last couple of years, many of them departing from JFK as part of our continued international expansion.”
