Premier of Nevis and Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Joseph Parry addressed the nation on Wednesday October 22nd, to inform the general public of the new airline schedule for Nevis.

During the past few months, Nevis has been facing difficulties with two airline carriers, the American Airline branch of American Eagle and the regional airline Carib Aviation. The matter with American Eagle has been centered on the challenges that the company has faced with their hub in Puerto Rico and with the decision that American Eagle has made to take most of their business to Miami.  American Eagle has had to reorganize; and in doing so the two daily flights to Nevis were affected.

Delta Flights To St. Kitts – Nevis

ATLANTA – Delta Air Lines Inc., the nation’s third-largest carrier, will double its charge for checking a second bag on a domestic flight as part of a set of fee increases to help offset the high cost of fuel.

The Atlanta-based carrier said Tuesday that the changes will apply to customers who purchase a ticket on or after Thursday for travel on or after Aug. 5.

Fee changes include an increase from $25 to $50 to check a second bag for domestic travel. Fees for specialty items that require special handling, such as surfboards or ski equipment, will increase on domestic and international flights, Delta said.

First Class, BusinessElite and Medallion customers will still be able to check up to three bags at no charge, the airline said.

Delta said that as fuel costs remain high, it believes revising its fee structure for excess bags and specialty items is essential to generate the necessary revenues to offset its higher costs.

Delta currently does not charge passengers for checking a first bag on domestic flights. It has said it is studying a decision by several other major carriers to impose that fee.
