American Airlines will open another new route from South Florida to the Caribbean this fall when the airline begins nonstop service from Miami to the southern Caribbean island of Grenada. American will begin flying between Miami and Grenada on November 2, 2008, using Boeing 737-800 aircraft configured with 16 seats in First Class and 132 seats in the Main Cabin. American’s upcoming service from Miami is the only nonstop service currently scheduled between South Florida and Grenada. The new service complements existing flights to Grenada from San Juan, Puerto Rico, offered by American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines. “Grenada is a wonderful addition to American’s schedule from South Florida,” said Peter Dolara, American’s Senior Vice President - Miami, Caribbean and Latin America. “It has much to offer visitors, and American’s convenient nonstop flight from Miami puts it all virtually at South Florida’s doorstep. Our connecting service via the Miami hub brings Grenada closer to dozens of other cities as well.” “Visitors to Grenada can expect to experience some of the best that the Caribbean has to offer, including lovely scenery, magnificent weather, relaxing beaches, lively culture, and a wide variety of activities,” said Clarice Modeste Curwen, Grenada’s former Minister of Tourism. “We welcome American’s nonstop service from Miami, just as we welcome all those who come to see and enjoy the Caribbean of their dreams.” Here is American’s schedule between Miami and Grenada, effective November 2.
