JETBLUE ADDS THIRD WEEKLY FLIGHT TO GRENADA  
JetBlue Airways, with direct flights from New York to Grenada on Thursdays and Sundays, will soon be offering an additional service, according to civil aviation minister, Yolande Bain-Horsford. On Tuesday, the minister disclosed that the New York-based airline, which only started flying to Grenada in June, has added a third weekly flight to its Grenada itinerary. The third flight, the minister said, is scheduled to begin on September 15, 2015, and will operate on Tuesdays between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport. A fourth JetBlue flight between New York and Grenada is in the making. “JetBlue realizes that we need their services here in Grenada. They realize that the Caribbean is ‘it’ and they are targeting the Caribbean, and Grenada is open and ready for that kind of targeting,” said the minister, who described the airline as visionary. Bain-Horsford said the increase in JetBlue's flights to Grenada is as a result of an extensive marketing campaign and ongoing negotiations between Grenada and the airline. “I think our marketing strategy, along with theirs really helped. The connections, all the different meetings and links we have established with them have played a great role,” she said. With more people showing interest in the Caribbean, the minister said the airline, with this decision, has made a strategic move. "They are really moving swiftly. They are looking down the line and they see how they can build and develop in Grenada. People are looking at the Caribbean now to travel and enjoy... and so they are capitalizing on those efforts,” Bain-Horsford said. The minister also disclosed that the airline’s fourth flight is expected to begin on January 5, 2016, and will be offered on Saturdays. This will bring the JetBlue flight offerings to Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. “We are grateful that they chose Grenada and that they are increasing their flights. Grenada is beautiful, and they know that a lot of people have interest in it. They are really taking Grenada seriously under their wing,” the minister said. Tickets for the September 15 flight are already on sale. Source: Caribbean news

JETBLUE ADDS THIRD WEEKLY FLIGHT TO GRENADA  
Good news!! but we need Jetblue to make a quick stop on it's way down and up in Puerto Rico, so that Grenadians from St. Martin, Tortola, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico can connect more easily.
