JetBlue Airways, Boston's largest carrier, today celebrates inaugural seasonal service to
the warm and tropical U.S. Virgin Islands, with at least five weekly
flights between Logan International Airport (BOS) and St. Thomas
International Airport (STT). The southbound flight to St. Thomas will
operate non-stop, and the northbound flight to Boston will operate via
San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Caribbean-loving airline now boasts 43
nonstop destinations out of Boston to points all over the carrier's
growing network.
"Just as the cold weather is settling into New England, we're pleased to
offer Bostonians a great escape to the beautiful, warm Caribbean with
the start of nonstop service to St. Thomas," said Scott Laurence, vice
president of network planning. "Our continued growth in both Boston as
well as the Caribbean make this new city pairing a match made in
paradise, literally!"
"We are very excited about the new nonstop service to St. Thomas, which
makes the U.S. Virgin Islands even more accessible for New Englanders
looking for a warm weather getaway," said U.S. Virgin Islands
Commissioner of Tourism Beverly Nicholson-Doty. "And with no passport
required for U.S. citizens it couldn't be easier to visit the U.S.V.I.
to enjoy our legendary beaches, national parks and world-class
attractions."
"With JetBlue starting service to the St. Thomas market, another
important leisure destination from Boston will be served by a low cost
carrier; that means competition will lower fares and our customers will
win,'' said Ed Freni, Director of Aviation for Massport. "We
congratulate JetBlue for its 43rd destination from Boston and for its
timing in providing New Englanders nonstop service to the U.S. Virgin
Islands in the winter!''
