JETBLUE CONTINUED its commitment to Barbados earlier today as the inaugural flight from Boston landed at the Grantley Adams International Airport.
Passengers disembarking the plane got an immediate taste of Barbadian culture. They were greeted by stiltwalkers and a steel pan player churning out soca tunes like Peter Ram’s All Ah We.
Minister of Tourism Richard Sealy both commended and thanked JetBlue for its continued relationship with Barbados, a testament of the island’s growth in the tourism sector.
“There’s no doubt that the increased number of seats [on JetBlue] out of the US explains why we are doing so well in the US market at the moment,” Sealy said.
The Minister noted flights from the United States to Barbados were up 25 per cent and a lot of this was down to the work Government had done with JetBlue.
This marked the first of the daily direct flights from Boston to Barbados, but JetBlue also welcomed another inaugural flight in its premium Mint Experience, which will fly from New York to the Grantley Adams International Airport. (AD)
