  • ARRIVING by AIR Connecting Airports Surround the BVI, Making Arrivals and Departures an Easy Part of Your Travel Itinerary
    ARRIVING BY AIR Connecting airports surround the BVI, making arrivals and departures an easy part of your travel itinerary. When travelling to the BVI, there are no direct flights from the USA, Canada, Europe, or South America to the British Virgin Islands' main airport, the Terrence B. Lettsome Airport (EIS). All flights must connect through another Caribbean airport on islands such as Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Antigua, or St. Maarten. Your travel agent or international airline will be able to assist with booking flights. If you plan to make reservations online, remember that you will have to request flights to Tortola (EIS). If you are travelling on to Virgin Gorda (VIJ), Anegada, Peter Island, or Jost van Dyke, check with your hotel, resort, or villa to make sure that charter flights or ferry service will be available if you arrive after 4pm. Otherwise, plan to spend a night or two in Tortola before exploring the rest of "Nature's Little Secrets." Boat charters can be arranged via St. Thomas, Road Town or Beef Island. The BVI’s additional major airports are Auguste George Airport, Anegada (NGD); and Taddy Bay Airport, Virgin Gorda (VIJ). Regular service from San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) to Virgin GOrda (VIJ) is available with Cape Air. VI Airlink offers both commercial and charter flights from Beef Island, Tortola to Anegada (NGD). Many charter airlines also offer service to Anegada. Visit our Inter-Island Aviation section for more information. The most direct way to arrive to the BVI from North America is via San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU).

FOREWORD iven the geographical spread of the Caribbean, air transport is vital in linking families and communities, as well as supporting economic activity. Most airlines based in the GCaribbean have regularly made operating losses, although this is not a phenomenon unique to the Region. Across the globe, competition in the industry has intensified over the years. Deregulation has generally benefitted passengers at the expense of legacy airlines, with low cost carriers exploiting opportunities for growth. Passengers’ expectations of low fares have increased, while many of the costs of providing air transport, particularly fuel, have gone up. The worsening economics are exacerbated in the Caribbean, where economies of scale seem elusive at best. Globally, airlines have had to adapt. They have done so in a number of ways, for example, through closer cooperation to reduce costs and/or increase passenger numbers and revenues. Three major world alliances, Star Alliance, One World and Sky Team, have emerged.

  • Hundreds Expected to Attend Anegada Lobster Festival
    Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Keith Dawson Marketing Manager BVI Tourist Board (284) 541-8281 [email protected] Hundreds Expected to Attend Anegada Lobster Festival Tortola, British Virgin Islands, November 24, 2015 – Hundreds of people are expected to flock to Anegada this weekend for the third annual Anegada Lobster Festival taking place on Saturday, 28th and Sunday, 29th November. The much anticipated two-day event will kick off on the evening of Friday, 27th November with the Lobster Crawl, a night of bar-hopping and dining along the beach next to the port of entry. The event, which was launched by the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board to stimulate travel and interest in less traversed islands, has grown over the years and now attracts twice as many guests to that coral island compared to the inaugural year. Anegada Lobster Festival is the culmination of BVI Food Fete and this year, eleven restaurants will participate in the event. Guests arriving at the airport or seaport will be greeted by staff of the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board and then commence sampling lobster dishes from the participating restaurants while enjoying entertainment in a festive setting. This year, the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board collaborated with Conservation and Fisheries, and the Ministry of Culture to ensure guests are also able to experience the historical and cultural components that make Anegada special. “Based on the feedback we’ve received from the previous years we are excited for our guests to see the enhancements that have been made for this event. Attendees at this year’s Anegada Lobster Festival will receive an Anegada Heritage Passport, which promotes visits to the island’s top attractions including Faulkner House Museum, the Anegada Rock Iguana Head Start Facility, the S.
