The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority has announced an increase in winter airlift for the 2025-2026 peak travel season, adding nearly 12,000 seats from the United States and raising capacity by four percent. The expanded nonstop flight schedule to Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) includes additional service from major U.S. gateways.
“As temperatures start to dip in the U.S., demand for warm weather travel increases. The addition of seasonal airlift into Saint Lucia reflects our commitment to meeting travelers where they are—in this case, with more flight choices from major gateways,” said Louis Lewis, CEO of Saint Lucia Tourism Authority. “Paired with dozens of winter deals offered by our hotel partners, these added flights mean that a getaway to experience the flavors and cultures of Saint Lucia will be even more accessible for new and returning visitors.”
