Delta returns to Eastern Caribbean with daily service from Atlanta this winter
CASTRIES, St Lucia (April 5, 2025) — Delta flights to Grenada will resume this winter, and for the first time, the airline will launch nonstop service to St Vincent, strengthening air travel links between the Eastern Caribbean and the southeastern United States.
Starting December 20, 2025, Delta Air Lines will operate daily nonstop flights from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Maurice Bishop International Airport in Grenada and Argyle International Airport in St Vincent. The seasonal routes are scheduled to run through April 12, 2026.
With the launch of these routes, Delta becomes the only U.S. carrier offering nonstop service between Atlanta and the two island destinations. The move is part of Delta’s largest-ever winter expansion into Latin America and the Caribbean, driven by rising travel demand from American leisure markets.
Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to serve returning Caribbean routes
Passengers flying these routes will board Delta’s new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, which feature First Class, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin seating. The fleet upgrade enhances the onboard experience with greater fuel efficiency, increased cabin comfort, and multiple fare class options.
The resumption of Delta flights to Grenada marks the airline’s return to the island nation’s network after a service pause, while the new St Vincent route introduces nonstop US connectivity that local officials have long championed.
Caribbean tourism leaders welcome new Delta service
Carlos James, Minister of Tourism for St Vincent and the Grenadines, said the new route will significantly improve access for U.S. travelers and diaspora communities.
“Following a record-breaking year in stayover arrivals, we’re delighted to welcome Delta Airlines to St Vincent and the Grenadines,” James said. “This strategic partnership with Delta deepens our links with Atlanta — one of the world’s most connected travel hubs — and helps us expand our presence in the U.S. market.”
Grenadian tourism stakeholders also hailed Delta’s return as a positive signal for continued tourism growth, especially during the peak winter season.
Delta expands its 2025 winter footprint in the Caribbean
Paul Baldoni, Delta’s Senior Vice President of Network Planning, said the dual destination launch reflects the company’s confidence in sustained demand across the Caribbean region.
“With two new destinations in the Eastern Caribbean, we’re expanding our footprint with more seats to Latin America and the Caribbean than ever before,” Baldoni stated. “These additions are part of our strategy to provide more convenience and flexibility to our customers seeking warm-weather getaways.”
Delta currently serves over 52 nonstop destinations in the Caribbean from its Atlanta hub — the airline’s largest for departures and passenger traffic. With these new routes, Delta strengthens its role as a leading connector between the U.S. and the Eastern Caribbean.
This development comes amid notable shifts in the regional aviation landscape, including Virgin Atlantic’s decision to drop its St Lucia flights in October 2025. The move by Virgin underscores growing competition and strategic reshuffling among major carriers serving the Caribbean.
