JetBlue announced it has officially launched service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Argyle International Airport (SVD), with the first flight arriving in St. Vincent and the Grenadines this afternoon. The new roundtrip service will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays.

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 a robust network throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, where the airline’s great customer service and low fares have made it a 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.
