Southwest plans on flying to Cyril E. King International Airport on St. Thomas, a part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, early next year.

Cyril E. King International Airport (STT) marks the rapidly transforming low-cost carrier 's ninth Caribbean island destination, joining Aruba, the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Turks and Caicos.

Southwest Airlines will add new network points for the first time in five years in 2026, moving away from a post-pandemic strategy focused exclusively on building up service at airports already on its map.
