Fly the Whale will launch three new daily round-trip flights between Henry E. Rohlsen Airport on St. Croix and San Juan International Airport starting Sept. 15, the airline announced in a recent press release.

The service expands travel options for business, medical, and leisure passengers, with flights arriving and departing from the Jet Aviation FBO on the east side of San Juan International — about a seven-minute ride from the main terminal. A shuttle will be provided for passengers connecting at the terminal. Guests traveling from the terminal to Jet Aviation will need to arrange a taxi or Uber, according to the press release.

Seats are now available at www.flythewhale.com or by calling 800-468-8639.

Fly the Whale President Shane Reynolds called the new service “a great opportunity for our valued guests to travel to San Juan for onward connections, business, medical care, and those seeking a getaway to the beautiful islands of Puerto Rico and St. Croix.”

The expansion builds on the airline’s growth in the region. Since launching service between St. Croix and St. Thomas in April 2023, Fly the Whale has carried tens of thousands of passengers. The new route extends the carrier’s customer-focused operations beyond the U.S. Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico, the press release stated.
