USVI Highlights New Service by U.S. Carriers

New and enhanced flight service to the U.S. Virgin Islands includes US Airways recent commitment to launch weekly nonstop service from Boston’s Logan International Airport to St. Thomas’ Cyril E. King Airport.

The service represents a new route for the carrier, which will operate on Saturdays beginning Dec. 19 through April 23 using the A319 aircraft. The flights are now available for sale at USAirways.com and all other US Airways ticketing outlets.

Earlier this summer, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines committed to additional nonstop service to both the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport in St. Croix and the Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas to commence later this year: In June, American Airlines shared plans to increase service to St. Croix, from seven to 10 flights departing weekly from Miami. Meanwhile, Delta Air Lines announced the launch of daily nonstop service to St. Croix from Atlanta (up from four flights per week); as well as an increase in service to St. Thomas from Atlanta of up to four flights daily (up to 26 flights per week), and daily service to St. Thomas from John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York.
