A more extensive air schedule has been committed by American Eagle to serve St Kitts and Nevis. Starting April 5, 2011, there will be daily service between San Juan and St Kitts, and an additional Friday/Saturday, Saturday/Sunday late evening incoming and early morning outgoing service. St Kitts also will have a weekly Saturday day trip to Puerto Rico, and Nevis 3 non-stop flights per week from San Juan.

?I am particularly gratified by the outcome of our meetings, which has increased the existing American Eagle service to our twin-island destination and also provides new same-day weekend connections from St. Kitts to Los Angeles, Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago with comfortable connections to American Airlines and other important carriers,? said Tourism Minister Senator Ricky Skerritt.

Pedro Fabregas, President and CEO of American Eagle for Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean, commented after the agreement, "We are doing all we can to facilitate our Nevis customers, but we have had to be pragmatic and use St. Kitts as the main airport for both islands. We have now what I consider a win-win agreement for both the airline and St. Kitts & Nevis.?

As reported by TheStKittsNevisObserver.com, "Like all businesses, American Eagle must allocate its resources where it makes the most economic sense. Recent cut backs in capacity in San Juan greatly affect smaller destinations like St. Kitts & Nevis that are at risk for service reductions or loss of service."
