The Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport will today welcome its first non-stop commercial flight from Canada.
Government said the Air Canada flight from Toronto will make St. Kitts and its sister island, Nevis, a more viable winter destination choice for travelers from “this key North American market.”
Minister of Tourism Senator Richard “Ricky” Skerritt said in a previous interview that Canada is “always a viable source market for visitors and investors as well as home to a large contingent of our Diaspora.”
“I am grateful that Air Canada Vacations is adding us to their lists of partner destinations this coming winter and our government is working closely with our local hoteliers and other St Kitts and Nevis tourism stakeholders to make full use of this opportunity to strengthen our travel and tourism relationship with Canada.”
The tourism minister and St. Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas are among officials who will welcome the flight from the Pearson International Airport.
Air Canada is using an Airbus 319 aircraft with 108 Economy Class seats and 12 Business Class seats for the flight that arrives here at 3:10 pm.
