Nevis / International Flights

By Sara Macefield

Nevis can tap into international flights to the Caribbean thanks to the network of local services that link the island to the larger Caribbean flight hubs, which are served by major airlines from North America and Europe. The closest international arrival point is the neighbouring island of St Kitts, which has regular flights from the UK, but the obvious hub for British passengers is Antigua. The island also receives flights from Germany and North American cities. St Maarten is served by flights from France, Holland, the USA and Canada, while Puerto Rico is a popular hub for US flights and is also served by Canadian and British airlines.

Airlines serving the islands near Nevis include:

British Airways has weekly flights on Tuesdays and Saturdays from London Gatwick. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines from North America. Air Canada is due to commence a new service out of Toronto on 23 December 2011.  The seven-minute onward flight transfer from St Kitts is no longer available and all travel over to Nevis is now by water taxi or ferry.
