JetBlue spices up service to Grenada this summer

As the world continues to embrace the allure of travel, Grenada is poised to experience a continued boost to its tourism sector, fueled by an increase in airlift capacity and a growing interest in the island’s rich culture and festivities.
With the upcoming Spicemas carnival drawing visitors from the Caribbean diaspora, and families flocking to the region for a much-needed summer vacation, the importance of additional airlift cannot be overstated.
The Grenada Tourism Authority’s (GTA) announcement of JetBlue Airways’ augmented flight schedule and capacity expansion will help catapult economic development for the island, enabling Grenada to showcase its unique charm and heritage to wider audiences.
The GTA announced today that JetBlue Airways will add flights for the Spicemas summer festival, which will held from August 1 to 15 this year.
From August 7 to September 1, 2023, the New York-based airline will operate a second daily nonstop flight, a 162-seat A320, leaving New York’s John F. Kennedy (JFK) airport at 9:50 p.m. and arriving at Grenada’s Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) at 2:47 a.m. The return flight departs GND at 5:01 a.m. and arrives at JFK at 9:57 a.m.
JetBlue currently offers daily nonstop service from New York to Grenada, and American Airlines operates a daily nonstop flight from Miami, along with a seasonal weekly flight from Charlotte on Saturdays.
To meet the demand of family travel to the destination, JetBlue has increased capacity on its regular New York service, from an A320 to A321 (200 seats), for the entire summer season from June 15 to September 5.
“JetBlue has always been a committed partner and we expect a surge in bookings, as this service allows the destination and our stakeholders the opportunity to welcome even more visitors for Spicemas and showcase how Grenada honors its culture and why we’re truly the spice isle of the Caribbean,” said Lennox Andrews, Grenada’s Minister of Tourism.
“The USA is the largest tourism market for Grenada and continues to perform exceptionally well,” reported Petra Roach, CEO of the GTA, who noted that Grenada continues to remain committed to U.S. market growth.

Two men found themselves cornered in a bar by police after an anonymous caller tipped off the cops about an illegal firearm.
On the afternoon of June 6, the police were alerted to a man reportedly carrying a gun at East Bus Station by someone who wished to keep their identity under wraps.
The caller reportedly described a man matching the description of Trevor Powell of Villa and when officers spotted the defendant at the scene and approached him and some other men, they all allegedly ran into a bar.
The police were able to apprehend them in the bar and upon searching Powell they reportedly found an unlicensed modified flare gun containing one bullet in his waist.
He was arrested and subsequently charged with the illegal possession of both items and was brought to the St. John’s Magistrate’s Court today where he was remanded until August 10.
On Thursday, Lyndon Roberts, a man found with drugs in the same bar was fined $1000.
The police found a bag belonging to him on the floor and searched it to find 23.7 grams of cannabis in several small Ziploc bags.
The money is said to be valued at a little over $300.

Mother Pleads for Assistance in Unlocking Missing Son’s Phone, as Police Cyber Lab Hit by Mold Infestation
SOURCE: REAL NEWS – Noah Hurst, a 24-year-old from Lightfoot, has been missing for three weeks, leaving his family increasingly frustrated with the lack of assistance from the police.
Despite reporting his disappearance, there have been no significant developments in locating Noah, and communication with the police has been limited.
Noah’s mother, Maria Hurst, typically reaches out to officers for updates but has received no encouraging information so far.
Compounding their challenges, Noah’s cell phone, left behind in his bedroom, is password protected, hindering progress in obtaining crucial information.
Although the device was submitted to the police, the cyber lab’s alleged mold infestation has rendered it unusable at present.
In light of these obstacles, Hurst is appealing to anyone with expertise in accessing password-protected cell phones to contact her or her husband.
They hope to uncover potential clues about Noah’s whereabouts.
Despite the difficulties, Hurst remains hopeful that her son will be found unharmed and reunited with their loving family.
Contact numbers for the parents: Maria Hurst – 784-0060, and spouse – 772-8018.
