British Airways doubles its service to St Kitts

St Kitts will gain a second weekly British Airways flight next spring. The additional service will fly every Tuesday from March 23.

BA will use 280-seat Boeing 777 in a three-class configuration with 40 Club World, 24 World Traveller Plus and 216 World Traveller seats.

The new flight, linked with Antigua, increases capacity to the destination while offering even greater flexibility to the duration of visitor nights.

The announcement came just eight months since the first BA scheduled service touched down in St Kitts.

The island’s tourism sports and culture minister Richard Skerrit said: ““I speak for our key partners, our hoteliers and all stakeholders involved in the tourism industry in St. Kitts & Nevis in welcoming this excellent news from British Airways at a time when there is still uncertainty in the industry; we are delighted that British Airways has had the confidence in our destination’s future growth to bring in two new flights in just 14 months.

“The UK is increasingly becoming an important market for St. Kitts with British Airways bringing in more than 4,000 passengers in the first half of 2009 alone.”

BA head of UK and Ireland sales Richard Tams said: “We’re delighted to be increasing the number of flights into St Kitts.

“The island has been proving extremely popular with our customers thanks to its beauty; atmosphere and the warm welcome travellers receive.

“We now operate more flights into the Caribbean than any other carrier, serving 14 destinations with 55 flights a week and we remain committed to the region.”

New flights to Bergen from Aberdeen and Newcastle are being introduced this autumn.

UK regional airline Eastern Airways is starting the services on October 5.

Fares to Bergen start at £89 one way.

The airline is to run daily weekday flights from both UK airports.

Extra flights are also being added to Stavanger from Aberdeen and Newcastle from October 4.

The airline’s chief operating officer Chris Holliday said: “The announcement of two new non-stop services to Bergen from Aberdeen and Newcastle clearly demonstrates our commitment to developing routes between the UK and Norway.

“Bergen is a key base for the global energy industry, and our services will benefit business travellers. Both services also provide a convenient link for leisure passengers taking short breaks in Norway, north east Scotland and north east England.”

Dreamliner finally set for take off

The maiden flight of the much delayed Boeing 787 Dreamliner is due before the end of the year.

Manufacturer Boeing said the first delivery is then expected in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Development delays mean that production of the new generation aircraft is almost two years behind schedule.

The company now expects to achieve a production rate of 10 aircraft a month in late 2013.

The new schedule reflects the previously announced need to reinforce an area within the side-of-body section of the aircraft, along with the addition of several weeks of schedule margin to reduce flight test and certification risk, Boeing said.

“This new schedule provides us the time needed to complete the remaining work necessary to put the 787’s game-changing capability in the hands of our customers,” said Boeing chairman, president and CEO Jim McNerney.

“The design details and implementation plan are nearly complete, and the team is preparing airplanes for modification and testing.”
