While not a complete list, top airlines such as United, Delta, US Airways, American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, WestJet, and Jet Blue all offer direct flights to St. Lucia.
Because the island’s burgeoning tourist industry brings in some 500,000 international passengers annually, the airport is currently being outfitted with a brand new terminal to help support the growing needs of travelers.
The current terminal offers banking services as well as tourism information and food, but the new terminal will be even better equipped to handle the needs of a high volume of travelers.
