BVI Adds Daily Flights from Miami

 

Mar 23, 2023

For the first time since the 1980s, access to the British Virgin Islands, a top destination for Canadian cruisers, is getting much easier with daily nonstop service from Miami to Beef Island/Tortola, via American Airlines beginning June 1. The game-changing three-hour flight eliminates the need for travelers to connect in Puerto Rico or St. Thomas. 

“As the first nonstop flight from the U.S. in decades, this is a monumental opportunity to bring more Canadians to the crystal-clear waters of our beloved island-destination,” said Clive McCoy, Director of Tourism, British Virgin Islands Tourist Board & Film Commission. American Airlines will commence roundtrip nonstop daily flights from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on June 1. The airlift will run through August 14 and restart in November after the fall low season. The new air service is expected to bring in an estimated 2,128 monthly passengers to the BVI.

New charter companies continue to sail into the BVI. In January Dream Caribbean Blue made Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina its official operating base, utilizing the private-island’s 55-slip marina off the east end of Tortola for its 14 sailing catamarans.
