In response to recent regional airspace complications that disrupted travel over the weekend, Delta Air Lines has announced the operation of a special additional flight to Saint Lucia. The supplemental service, designated as Flight DL9899, is scheduled to depart from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and arrive at Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) on January 5th at approximately 12:52 p.m. local time.
The Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA) confirmed that this extraordinary measure specifically targets passengers who experienced cancellations on January 3rd due to heightened regional aviation concerns. Aviation authorities have been collaborating with airlines to restore normal operations after the temporary but significant travel interruptions.
SLASPA officials have advised affected travelers to immediately verify their updated booking details through Delta’s reservation systems. The airline has established specialized protocols to accommodate rebookings for eligible passengers on this relief flight.
Aviation authorities report that regular flight schedules have now been fully restored across Saint Lucia’s airports following the weekend’s atypical disruptions. The additional Delta service represents the final phase of recovery operations to ensure all stranded passengers reach their intended destination.
