Delta Air Lines revealed on April 4th, 2025 they will fly to two new destinations to the Caribbean from Atlanta.
Starting in December 2025, Delta customers will be able to fly nonstop from Atlanta to either St. Vincent and the Grenadines or Grenada. Both of these offerings will be daily flights from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Passengers going to St.Vincent and the Grenadines will arrive at Argyle International Airport. Customers heading to Grenada will disembark at Maurice Bishop International Airport.
Delta will be utilizing their Boeing 737-800 on both of these route pairings.
Both of these destinations are great vacation spots. St. Vincent and the Grenadines is known for its beaches, watersports, and cave exploration. Grenada offers a little bit of the same. However, the island is called the “Spice Island”. You can tour spice plantations as well as the island’s chocolate factories.
Adrian Thomas, Grenada’s tourism minister commented on Delta’s arrival from Atlanta, “This service enhances access to our beautiful island, making it even easier for travelers to experience our rich culture, warm hospitality, and stunning natural landscapes. We look forward to a successful partnership with Delta Air Lines and the continued growth of our tourism industry.”
What Does This Mean For Delta and Its Customers?
Delta is Growing Their Reach By Tapping Into an Untapped Market
While Delta isn’t the only American air carrier flying into both of these destinations, they are full-share owners of the market demand from Atlanta.
There are no other airlines in Atlanta competing on these routes. JetBlue indirectly competes with Delta on both of these route pairings. They are flying from their hub in New York City or seasonally from Boston.
Delta also indirectly competes with American. American flies from Miami. But they also seasonally fly down from New York or Charlotte.
With Delta utilizing Atlanta, the most trafficked airport in the United States, there’s ample opportunity for the airline to capitalize on these two service additions. Americans are looking to get away and go on vacation. Grenada and St.Vincent are great places to do just that. Delta is throwing their name in the mix, to see if this route sticks.
Increased Accessibility to Caribbean For Delta Customers
Delta flies to many destinations in the Caribbean from Atlanta. However, there’s only so many times passengers are willing to go to the most popular islands. For the small niche that wants to visit the Caribbean and try something new, Delta has you covered.
It’s always nice when an airline starts new routes that increase connectivity to different regions of the country to nearby island nations. Most recent case that comes to mind is JetBlue and their newest offerings to Bonaire.
Yes, JetBlue and American flew to both Grenada and St. Vincent. But they only represented a portion of the country. JetBlue, the Northeast. American from Florida. Now Delta’s offering will greatly expand the connectivity for Southern and Middle Atlantic customers looking to experience a different culture in the Caribbean.
