American
Airlines has rolled out a new flight schedule that makes travel to the
British Virgin Islands (BVI) significantly easier, particularly for travelers who
are currently accustomed to overnight layovers in Miami.
The airline has
introduced its first late-night arrival into the territory, paired with an
early-morning departure, creating a new travel option that eliminates the need
for a hotel stay in South
Florida. The new service launched on December 18 and is operating daily
through March.
Departing from
Miami, American Airlines Flight 3668 now arrives at the BVI’s Terrance B.
Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on Beef Island at 10:14 p.m., while Flight
3398 departs EIS for Miami the following morning at 8:00 a.m.
“The BVI Airports
Authority is proud to mark American Airlines’ inaugural overnight service
between Miami and Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport, a major milestone
that significantly enhances air connectivity to the British Virgin Islands,”
said Kurt Menal, Director of the BVI Airports Authority. “This new service
expands access to key U.S. markets, strengthens our tourism offering, and
provides greater flexibility for residents, visitors, families and business
travelers alike. We thank American Airlines for its continued partnership and
remain committed to further enhancing airlift and the overall travel experience
to and from the BVI.”
The late-night and early-hours options build on American’s already robust presence in the destination. The
airline currently operates five daily nonstop flights between Miami and Beef
Island, and the expanded schedule provides travelers with greater flexibility
to connect from other parts of North America and internationally via Miami.
“Improved air
access is critical to the continued growth of tourism in the British Virgin
Islands, and this expanded American Airlines service marks a significant step
forward,” said Clive McCoy, Director of Tourism for the British Virgin Islands
Tourist Board. “The new daily schedule removes a major barrier for travelers,
making it easier for visitors from North America, as well as the UK and Europe,
to reach the BVI without overnight stops, strengthening our competitiveness in
the Caribbean while continuing to enhance accessibility without compromising
the high-quality experience the destination is known for.”
