Caribbean Airlines (CAL) has announced the introduction of a twice-weekly non stop service from JFK International Airport in New York to Antigua and Barbuda on Tuesdays and Fridays. The scheduled start date for the new service is December 14.
Tourism officials in New York say CAL is anticipating of a strong rebound in travel demand from the United States this winter. The service is likely to attract last minute holiday bookings and assist returning nationals looking for deals.
The service will originate in Port of Spain, stopping in Antigua and on to JFK with the return non-stop flight to V.C. Bird International Airport from New York’s JFK.
Flight 428 will depart Antigua at 8:45 a.m. and arrive at JFK at 11:50 a.m. The return Flight 429 will leave JFK at 1:55p.m. and arrive at V.C. Bird International at 6:55pm.
The airline is offering a special one way fare of US$189 from JFK to Antigua and US$209 one way from Antigua to JFK, excluding taxes and service fees. Seniors and children will be entitled to a 10 per cent discount. There will also be a generous baggage allowance of two checked pieces of luggage weighing up to 50 pounds.
Antugua's tourism Minister John Maginley has welcomed the additional air service to Antigua and Barbuda.
“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. This aligns with our strategic vision of providing greater access from some of our key markets."
