As Caribbean delegations continue their work to encourage airlines to increase flights to and within the region, American Airlines has given the nod to St. Kitts by adding flights to the destination this summer.

Marsha Henderson, Tourism Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, announced at the Routes Americas route development conference in Chicago this week that the Dallas-Fort Worth-headquartered carrier will provide additional flights from Miami in support of the 25th St. Kitts Music Festival, adding two inbound flights on June 21 and two outbound flights on June 25 to accommodate
festival patrons.

The 2023 edition of the music festival will feature a dynamic lineup of musical artists performing from June 22-24, 2023, for a weekend of soul, soca, jazz, R&B and reggae at Warner Park. Performers will include Chronixx, Koffee, Govana, Skillibeng, Air Supply, Valiant, Patrice Roberts, Skinny Fabulous, Byron Messia, and Grand Masters Band.

American will also offer double daily flights from August 15 to September 5, 2023, which will be especially helpful for international medical and veterinary school students traveling during the summer.

Tourism officials recently celebrated new thrice-weekly interCaribbean Airways flights between Barbados and St. Kitts.
