The Grenada Tourism Authority is pleased to announce\u00a0 that Virgin Atlantic will increase its service at Maurice Bishop International Airport, from two flights\u00a0 to three flights per week during the winter season.<\/p>\n
The carrier currently flies an Airbus 330-300 with 264 seats to Grenada on Tuesdays and\u00a0 Saturdays and will add a third weekly service on Fridays starting December 8, 2023, through to\u00a0 March 29, 2024. All three services fly from London Heathrow via Barbados, which marks a\u00a0 significant step in enhancing convenience of accessibility to the destination.<\/p>\n
Chairman of the Grenada Tourism Authority, Randall Dolland said, \u201cWe are delighted to welcome\u00a0 this third frequency to Grenada, it is a clear indication that our tourism product continues on an\u00a0 upward trajectory. Our valued partners at Virgin Atlantic have recognised this, and this additional\u00a0 capacity will contribute significantly to even higher occupancies for our hotels and provide a\u00a0 substantial boost to our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis additional capacity perfectly aligns with the increased demand for events like the England\u00a0 vs West Indies T20 cricket match and our 50th anniversary of Independence, for which we\u00a0 anticipate a significant uptick of arrivals from the diaspora, who are keen to celebrate this\u00a0 auspicious occasion with family and friends on island.\u201d said Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada\u00a0 Tourism Authority. \u201cWe extend our sincere gratitude to Virgin for their unwavering support and\u00a0 confidence in destination Grenada, and we commit to further fostering this partnership as we\u00a0 move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since June 14th, travelers have been able to use Virgin Atlantic to travel between Grenada and\u00a0 Barbados. The addition of this third service provides more seat capacity and convenience\u00a0 between the two islands.<\/p>\n
The Grenada Tourism Authority reaffirms its commitment to working closely and diligently with\u00a0 our airline partners with the objective of increasing and facilitating further connectivity to the tri island state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
