Delta Increasing Service to Caribbean from NYC

To boast Delta Air Lines’ service to the Caribbean, the carrier will add or expand service from New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to three top destinations later this year.

Delta will add a second daily flight to Nassau, Bahamas, on October 1, and introduce a new daily service to Kingston, Jamaica, effective December 20. The airline will also introduce a new Saturday-only service to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, beginning December 22.

When the new service is added this winter, Delta will operate up to 145 flights per week to 16 Caribbean destinations from JFK airport. The flights to Kingston will operate on Boeing 737-800 aircraft and journeys to both Nassau and Port-au-Prince will operate on Airbus A320 aircraft.
