American Airlines will make its inaugural non-stop flight from the Miami International Airport to the Argyle International Airport on Saturday.
The year-round AA 1427 service will operate on an Airbus A319 every Saturday leaving the Miami International Airport at 11 a.m. and arriving at the Argyle International Airport at 3:40 p.m. The return leg of the flight leaves St. Vincent at 4:45 p.m. and arrives in Miami at 7:50 p.m.
When the service was announced in May 2018, the airline stated that its customers “will have new options to escape the cold with more seasonal and year-round flights.”
Chief Executive Officer of the SVG Tourism Authority Glen Beache expressed his elation with the announcement from American Airlines.
“To have direct service out of Miami is a game changer for the country. This service will make it so much easier for visitors including the diaspora to vacation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines,” he said.
He further stated that “Miami being one of the main hubs for connections in the USA will be an excellent gateway for visitors from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and even the United Kingdom to access the beauty that is St. Vincent and the Grenadines.”
