ST. CROIX -- Governor Kenneth Mapp announced at his Thursday press briefing at Government House that Seaborne Airlines has resumed daily flights at the seaplane terminals between St. Thomas and St. Croix, offering $70-dollar walk-in, one-way flights between the islands. The airline intends to resume daily flights at the airports soon.
Mr. Mapp also noted the reopening of the Cyrile K. King Airport, with flights from American and Delta Airlines at the facility today. He said Jetblue would have flights on Friday, and United Airlines on Saturday.
The governor said 50 additional persons left St. Croix today on a Limetree Bay chartered flight, among them were tourists who had visited St. Croix and were staying in AirBnB apartments. According to the governor, Limetree Bay realized it had additional space on the chartered flight and was graceful enough to offer them as mercy seats. Additionally, an airline that the governor did not name has offered 100 seats for mercy mission passengers, and the Department of Tourism has since notified those in line on the waiting list of a planned departure.
