British Airways to add third weekly flight to Grenada

British Airways is to offer an additional weekly flight from Gatwick to Grenada every Sunday, bringing the total number to three.

The national flag carrier currently operates flights to the Caribbean island on Wednesdays and Saturdays via St Lucia.

The new weekly service, which begins on October 30, will be via Antigua.

Petra Roach, chief executive of the Grenada Tourism Authority, thanked BA for showing “confidence” in the island as a destination.

“In the first half of 2023, we will see the opening of Six Senses, a 100 room luxury resort with six villas, and The Beach House with 31 rooms,” she said.

“The ‘Spice Isle’ offers a truly unforgettable experience all year round with something on offer for every type of traveller.”

Virgin Atlantic also operates flights to Grenada from Heathrow, with two weekly flights via Barbados on Tuesdays and Saturdays through to October 29, 2022, and then Tuesdays and Fridays from 1 November 2022.
