American Airlines to go triple daily on US Virgin Islands route

The US Virgin Islands department of tourism has announced the addition of a third American Airlines’ daily flight between Miami and St. Thomas in time for the winter season.

Joseph Boschulte, commissioner of department of tourism in US Virgin Islands reported that from 18 December, the third daily flight will operate as a same day turn. “The addition of this flight signals another step forward for our administration as we strive to restore air service to the territory,” said Boschulte.

He explained the new seats are most timely in light of the continuing expansion of the sharing economy as well as the return of the Ritz-Carlton in St. Thomas in December.
