Many Caribbean islands are still recovering from Hurricane Maria. The devastating Hurricane not only damaged homes and businesses, but left severe structural damages to many airports, with flight services being reduced.

However, American Airlines have resumed service and even added new flights to the Princess Juliana International Airport in St Maarten. Beginning November 4th, AA’s nonstop flight from Charlotte to St Maarten returns, while non-stop flights from New York and Philadelphia to St Maarten resumes on December 19th. The Charlotte and Philadelphia flights will both operate daily on Airbus A-319 aircraft. The New York flight, which will operate weekly on Saturdays, will run on a Boeing 757 aircraft with 176 seats.
