American Airlines announced Wednesday plans to offer non-stop service between Boston and St. Thomas.
The flights between Bostons Logan Airport and St. Thomas Cyril E. King Airport will start Feb. 18. Service will operate on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays each week, said acting Tourism Commissioner Monique Sibilly Hodge.
"The continued increase in airlift from the Northeast Corridor speaks of the strength of our tourism product, especially with respect to this market," Hodge said. "This makes it even easier for visitors to travel to our American islands, even just for long weekends."
American Airlines also offers non-stop service to St. Thomas from New Yorks JFK Airport and from Miami and non-stop flights to St. Croix from Miami.
Hodge said a ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Americans inaugural flight from Boston.
