Southwest to Start Flying to St. Thomas
Southwest Airlines plans to start growing its network in 2026. The first addition will be new service at Cyril E. King International Airport (STT) on St. Thomas, adding the U.S. Virgin Islands to the carrier’s tropical destinations in the Caribbean.
There’s no exact date yet, but the airline says that service is expected to begin in early 2026 and will be available for purchase soon.
St. Thomas is the first of three new destinations for 2026 the carrier expects to announce this summer.
It will be the ninth island destination served by Southwest in the Atlantic region, joining other popular islands such as Aruba, The Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Turks and Caicos Islands.
Southwest also offers international service to Belize, two destinations in Costa Rica, and three destinations in Mexico.
