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.
