The British Airways weekly flight from Gatwick to St Kitts started in January 2009. The new flight confirms BA’s position as the UK airline with the most flights to the Caribbean. "This new route to St Kitts underlines our commitment both to the Caribbean and Gatwick and re-establishes a connection between the UK and the island, says British Airways head of leisure sales, Adam Daniels. "The introduction of St Kitts as a British Airways route means that we now operate to 11 destinations in the Caribbean. The region is performing extremely well for us," Daniels adds.
