�I am thrilled that we have added this new direct service to the U.S. Virgin Islands from a major metropolitan area like New York City,� Commissioner Richards said. �I am confident that these new flights will further stimulate travel, both leisure and business, to the USVI this summer as we continue to promote our Summer Super Saver promotion to prospective visitors.�

The new non-stop flight 935 will provide direct service each week on Saturdays from New York�s LaGuardia Airport departing at 8:45 a.m. and arriving on St. Thomas at 12:49 p.m. The return flight 936 will depart St. Thomas at 1:55 p.m. and arrive in New York at 5:50 p.m. Both flights will operate aboard an Airbus A319 aircraft with the capacity to accommodate up to 124.
