United Airlines launching Newark-St Kitts flights
United Airlines will launch a nonstop weekly service from Newark to St Kitts later this year.
The seasonal route begins on December 19, 2015 and will operate on Saturdays through April 30, 2016, the St. Kitts Tourism Authority announced.
"The launch of this new service from United is very significant for St. Kitts, particularly as many of our new hotel developments are open or opening within the next few years," said Minister of Tourism, International Trade, Industry and Commerce, Lindsay F.P. Grant.
"The Northeastern US has historically been our largest source market for visitors, and these new flights also allow for more connections from key gateways in and near this region."
The new service will be operated with 737-800 aircraft with up to 166 seats and will become United’s 18th Caribbean destination.
United’s director of leisure sales, Vic Kerckhoff said: "We’re excited to offer new service into St Kitts from our world-class Newark hub, offering more flexibility and choice for flyers traveling to the region."
