"Aug. 11, 2006 – Northwest Airlines will join the lengthy list of carriers that fly to the Virgin Islands when it begins Saturday nonstop flights from Detroit on Jan. 6, 2007.
Tourism Department marketing director Steve Bornn noted on Friday that the addition of Northwest will give the territory service from all the major airlines.
The incoming Northwest flight leaves Detroit at 9:45 a.m. and arrives on St. Thomas at 3:10 p.m. The return flight departs St. Thomas at 4 p.m. and arrives in Detroit at 9:30."

St. Thomas getting a new flight..............
While St. Croix is skipped over.
Glad to see things don't change in the USVI.
DL,
Since flight schedules are a matter of supply and demand, would you have the airlines increase flights to places passengers do not wish to go at the expenses of places passengers do wish to go?
I meant to place blame on the VI government. Not the airlines. I think if the government promoted St. Croix more, more people would go to St. Croix and more airlines would go there. But when I read articles about the government praising new flights to St. Thomas, I am disgusted because it's the same government that half-asses on promoting St. Croix, resulting in few flights for us.
