PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (“St. Joe”) celebrates the announcement of expanded nonstop daily flights between Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) in Panama City, FL and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York City. This announcement comes on the heels of the previously announced seasonal Saturday service offered by Delta Air Lines (“Delta”) for Summer 2025. Starting November 6, 2025, this new daily service creates not only a convenient route but also year-round connectivity for travelers from the Northeast to discover the quality of life and attractiveness of Northwest Florida as both a vacation destination and permanent residence.
“This enhanced connectivity between Northwest Florida and a major metropolitan area such as New York City represents a significant step in expanding accessibility and driving sustained growth across our region,” said Jorge Gonzalez, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of St. Joe. “We are confident that this daily direct flight will generate increased visitation from the Northeast, supporting greater exposure to our hospitality, residential and commercial offerings. This connectivity aligns with our long-term vision to attract a broader audience and convert visitors into residents.”
The new year-round route will be operated with an Embraer 175 aircraft, providing passengers with a comfortable and efficient travel experience. “Partnering with Delta to offer this year-round service will provide our passengers with more convenient travel options and enhance connectivity between New York City and the beautiful beaches of Northwest Florida,” said Parker W. McClellan Jr., A.A.E., Executive Director of ECP. “This expanded nonstop service announcement is a testament to the growing demand for travel to our region and we look forward to welcoming travelers from the Big Apple.”
Summer flights are available for booking now with the seasonal service beginning on June 14, 2025, and will operate once weekly on Saturdays. Additionally, Delta will offer daily service from June 28, 2025 to July 6, 2025, to accommodate travelers for the Fourth of July holiday. The seasonal service flights will run through Labor Day and will be operated on Delta’s CRJ-900 aircraft.
