Virgin Gorda International Airport Reopening Delayed Temporarily

The reopening of the Virgin Gorda International Airport has been temporarily postponed, according to Mr. Kurt Menal, the Managing Director of the BVI Airports Authority. Originally scheduled for Thursday, September 7, the reopening has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 12 due to ongoing maintenance works and the presence of an active weather system.

Mr. Menal explained that the maintenance works were initially expected to be completed by September 6, with the airport reopening the following day. However, in light of the current weather conditions and the need for a thorough inspection of the new surface, the decision was made to delay the reopening until Tuesday.

The BVI Airports Authority is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all travelers, and this delay allows for a comprehensive inspection to take place before the airport resumes operations. Mr. Menal expressed his gratitude to the public in Virgin Gorda for their patience and cooperation during this time, emphasizing that safety is the number one priority of the authority.

To address any concerns or inquiries regarding the closure, Mr. Menal encourages individuals to reach out to the Operations Department. They can be contacted at (284) 394-8000 or via email at ops@bviaa.com. The BVI Airports Authority is dedicated to providing timely and accurate information to the public throughout this process.

As the Virgin Gorda International Airport prepares for its reopening, the BVI Airports Authority is committed to ensuring that all necessary measures are taken to guarantee the safety and comfort of travelers. The delay may be inconvenient, but it demonstrates the authority’s dedication to upholding their motto of “Safety is our #1 Priority.”
