UPDATE! July 3, 2010: Delta Starts Non Stop Service from JFK to Grenada

Delta Air Lines has rescheduled the commencement of its non-stop service from New York to Grenada.

The airline, which had originally announced direct service to Grenada from July but then agreed to reschedule to June 5th after the pull out of Air Jamaica last month, will now start on July 3rd.

Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister Glynis Roberts, along with three members of the Grenada Airlift Committee, met with officials of Delta Air Lines in Atlanta on April 8th to finalize the arrangement.

“The airline decided to shift the inaugural flight to July 3rd because of a very low load factor in June,” the Minister said following discussions at the airline’s headquarters.
“I want to assure the traveling public that there will be year-round service from Delta when the New York-Grenada operations begin in July,” Roberts said while confirming that bookings are heavy for the months of July and August.

Minister Roberts said that Grenadians should consider themselves as marketing agents since the country stands to benefit economically from full bookings. “What we need to do is to ensure that when they start they don’t stop. So we have to market the flights.”

Accompanying the Minister to the Atlanta talks were Airlift Committee’s Chairman Mr. Michael McIntyre, Sir Royston Hopkin and Mr. Rodney George. They met with Christine Kennedy, the General Manager of International Network Planning for Latin America and the Caribbean; Jean Ellisor, Team Leader Network Planning and Jeanene Wilson, Senior Marketing Specialist.

Delta Air Lines Flight to Grenada will operate twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from New York into Grenada.

Delta Air Lines Flight DL525 will depart John F. Kennedy International Airport at 1:15 a.m. and arrive into the Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA) at 6:03 a.m. The return flight DL526 will depart MBIA at 7:15 a.m. and arrive at JFK, New York at 12:05 p.m.

To start this weekly service, Delta will use a 150 seat, 737-800 Boeing aircraft with 16 first class seats and 134 economy seats.

Blue Horizons Garden Resort Receives Prestigious Green Globe Certification

GRENADA(March 22, 2010) - Blue Horizons Garden Resort in Grenada (http://www.GrenadaBlueHorizons.com) has secured the coveted Green Globe Certification for its environmentally-friendly initiatives and practices.

"We are extremely pleased that our efforts over the years have earned us such a prestigious award," said Arnold Hopkin, owner/manager of Blue Horizons.

"Of course, the true beneficiary of our initiatives is the environment and we are proud to play a key role in preserving Grenada's best natural assets," added Arnold Hopkin.


Blue Horizons actively promotes the following environmental practices:

· Purification of the main swimming pool by the chemical-free Auto Pilot system, which uses salt as opposed to chlorine. Swimming in salt water of 0.3 - 0.5 percent has positive health effects such as eliminating problems with dry skin, damaged hair and red eyes. Additionally, Blue Horizons enjoys a considerable cost-savings by not having to purchase chlorine.

· Creating a process whereby the resort's laundry system is operated by 100 percent rain water. The resort restored an old water tank (with a capacity of 10,500 gallons) and filled it exclusively with rain water so all the laundry (including staff uniforms, towels, bedding, etc.) would be cleaned in this fashion. This process saves about 500 gallons of water per day. Since there is an absence of minerals in rain water, the introduction of this system significantly reduces chemical usage. Blue Horizons already uses environmentally-friendly cleaning products (most cleaning products are non-toxic and phosphate-free).

· Distribution of reusable shopping bags. Ninety percent of the guests staying at Blue Horizons walk to the nearby supermarket for groceries (since the accommodations at Blue have kitchenettes) so the resort is distributing reusable bags for them to use while shopping. The resort's management is encouraging guests to take these bags when they leave Blue Horizons and use them for grocery shopping back home.


Green Globe is the premier global certification and improvement system assisting the international travel and tourism industry to attain sustainability. Green Globe provides a certification system that responds directly to the major environmental problems facing the planet including the greenhouse effect, over-use of freshwater resources, destruction of biodiversity, production of solid and biological waste, and corporate social issues.
