The recently launched non-stop route between Miami and the British Virgin Islands has seen such a positive response that just a few weeks after its inauguration, American Airlines has announced plans for expansion. Talk about a swift scaling up: That’s great news for such lux hideaways as Oil Nut Bay and Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda, but it also means more tourists on the island’s famously scenic Baths trail, a premier public nature attraction.
American Airlines has already added a second daily flight to satisfy demand and is set to introduce additional daily nonstop flights between Miami and Tortola’s Beef Island Airport in November—the start of high season. This development is a significant boost for the British Virgin Islands as they aim to recover their pre-pandemic tourism numbers during the winter of 2023. SFBW predicts that the BVI will have its best season since 2019.
The addition of a daily flight is a noteworthy component of American Airlines’ largest-ever winter schedule to the Caribbean.
