The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) has announced that JetBlue is adding additional service to the destination in time for its biggest cultural festival, Spicemas.
From 7 August to 1 September 2023, the carrier will operate a second daily nonstop flight, a 162-seat A320, leaving New York’s John F Kennedy (JFK) airport at 9:50 pm and arriving at Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) at 2:47 am. The returning flight departs GND at 5:01 am and arrives at JFK at 9:57 am.
JetBlue currently offers daily nonstop service from New York, and American Airlines offers a daily nonstop flight from Miami, along with a seasonal weekly flight from Charlotte on Saturdays. Also, in line with the uptick in family travel to the destination, JetBlue has increased capacity on its regular service, from an A320 to the 200-seater A321, for the entire summer peak period from 15 June to 5 Sep
“We’re thrilled to welcome this expanded service from JetBlue, offering travellers more options to come to Grenada,” said Hon. Lennox Andrews.
“JetBlue has always been a committed partner and we expect a surge in bookings, as this service allows the destination and our stakeholders the opportunity to welcome even more visitors for Spicemas and showcase how Grenada honours its culture and why we’re truly the Spice Isle of the Caribbean.”
