Our new service to Tortola is a significant step in our growth strategy, and we are committed to providing seamless travel experiences for our passengers,” Medera said. “By the end of this year, Caribbean Airlines will link the Spanish, French, Dutch, and English-speaking Caribbean with each other, as well as with the North American Diaspora, and business and leisure travellers who wish to explore our vibrant region.”

The announcement was also warmly welcomed by the British Virgin Islands’ tourism officials. Clive McCoy, Director of Tourism for the BVI Tourist Board & Film Commission, noted the positive impact the new flights will have on the local economy. “We couldn’t be more thrilled with Caribbean Airlines’ decision to service our islands. Granting more people the opportunity to visit the BVI is a win for tourism. We look forward to welcoming the guests with BVI Love.”

This expansion is seen as a major step in fostering regional integration and boosting tourism and business travel throughout the Caribbean. By offering more direct flights and connections within the region, Caribbean Airlines is playing a crucial role in supporting the economic development of its destinations.
