BVI Travelers Affected as St. Thomas Airport Closure Disrupts Flights
Travelers heading to and from the British Virgin Islands are facing delays today as Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas remains temporarily closed following an emergency landing by a private aircraft.
The closure, which began last night, has disrupted regional travel, with airlines forced to reschedule or cancel flights. The Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) is working to clear the disabled aircraft from the runway, with reopening expected by 2:00 p.m.
Passengers relying on St. Thomas as a transit point are urged to check with their airlines for updates as authorities work to restore normal operations.
