Tourism officials in St. Kitts believes that the demand for
more seats will be fueled by new developments, (ongoing and
proposed) giving that the north eastern US region is the
source of a large proportion of the island's tourists and
the destination of the majority of St. Kitts nationals
living in the USA.
American currently operates a well fed non-stop service to
Miami, via St. Kitts and US Airways also currently flies
directly to the island from Charlotte. |
