A month before that, American Airlines commenced its VI to Miami Direct Flights on June 1, 2023 then in mid-June 2023, BVI Airports Authority (BVIAA) announced that just two weeks after the commencement of the VI to Miami direct service, AA announced that it will be doubling the number of flights to the Territory for the winter season, which started in December 2023.

In 2024...all the other Caribbean Islands who were eons behind us have now developed their tourism products and we are here getting giddy about puddle jumpers bringing 20 more ppl daily. We have lost our &^%$ minds. Extend the runway asap or become a nation of beggars in 5yrs.
