customers even more travel options,” said David Jehn, vice
president of network planning and airline partnerships at JetBlue.
“This new service demonstrates our commitment to connecting our
customers to in-demand vacation locations and introducing our
award-winning service and low fares to new markets.”
"We are ecstatic to welcome JetBlue to our shores, marking a
major step forward in our tourism development efforts,” said
Honorable Carlos James, Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation,
Sustainable Development and Culture, St. Vincent and the
Grenadines. “As we continue to enhance our tourism offerings and
promote our beautiful islands as a premier destination, this
partnership opens new opportunities for both leisure and business
travelers. The connection with New York is especially significant
as it strengthens ties with our diaspora and provides more seamless
travel options for those wishing to explore St. Vincent and the
Grenadines."
"This inaugural flight represents a milestone not only for our
tourism industry but also for the entire country,” said Annette
Mark, CEO of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism Authority.
“JetBlue’s presence will help to boost our visibility as a
competitive destination in the Caribbean. We are committed to
creating memorable experiences for all visitors, and this new
direct connection allows us to extend our warm Vincentian welcome
to even more travelers."
“The Argyle International Airport (AIA) is pleased to welcome
JetBlue to our growing list of airline partners,” said Josette
Greaves, Chief Executive Officer at Argyle International Airport

leisure guests of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, AIA is committed

St. Vincent and the Grenadines, comprised of 32 islands and
cays, is known for its warm people, volcanic landscapes, black and
white sand beaches, and pristine sailing waters, representing a
quintessential Caribbean paradise. Known as the ‘Critter Capital of
the Caribbean’, this hidden gem offers a variety of activities
including scuba diving, hiking, yachting, as well as whale, dolphin
and turtle watching.
Building a strong East Coast leisure network
New service to St. Vincent and the Grenadines comes as JetBlue
continues to invest in providing its customers with exceptional
travel experiences to popular destinations while refocusing its
network in line with the airline's JetForward strategy. With an
emphasis on leisure and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) routes
from the airline’s New York focus city, JetBlue continues to
strengthen its position as a leader in leisure and premium leisure
travel.
As New York’s Hometown Airline®, JetBlue will be the first U.S
carrier to offer nonstop service from New York’s JFK Airport to St.
Vincent and the Grenadines. In recent years, the airline has built

leading airline. With JetBlue’s entry into St. Vincent and the
Grenadines, the airline will now serve 26 countries in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
