Delta Air Lines announced this week it would begin seasonal daily, nonstop service between the Vineyard and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport from May 25 through Sept. 6 this year.

Service will be operated with 50-seat CRJ-200 regional jets.

Delta’s managing director for domestic network planning, Joe Esposito, said the airline’s “global gateway at JFK will provide convenient one-stop connecting service between Martha’s Vineyard and nearly 50 international destinations.”

He called the Vineyard service part of an ongoing $1.2 billion project to expand and enhance Delta’s terminal at New York-JFK, to create a state-of-the-art facility.

Flights operated by Delta Connection carrier Pinnacle Airlines will leave the Vineyard at 3:50 p.m. every day, arriving at 5:25 p.m. at JFK. Flights will leave New York-JFK at 1:45 p.m. daily, arriving on the Vineyard at 3:20 p.m.

Jet Blue recently announced daily, nonstop seasonal service between JFK and the Vineyard also.
