JetBlue is adding an extra weekly New York flight to Grenada in the New Year.
The Monday flight begins on January 9, expanding frequency to five flights a week to the Spice Isle.
The airline first launched flights from New York to Grenada in June 2015 and previously announced its Mint premium service will begin later in January 2017.
"Increased airlift from this very important source market provides the opportunity to bring more visitors and Grenadians residing abroad to Grenada," said Grenada tourism minister Dr Clarice Modeste-Curwen.
New York is Genada’s largest source market and reached 19,000 arrivals in 2015.
"Between January and July 2016, we’ve seen a 19% increase in arrivals from New York largely due to the presence of JetBlue’s four-day weekly flights," said Grenada Tourism Authority chairman Rodney George.
