Virgin Gorda Airport Is Open Again in the British Virgin Islands

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 25, 2021 - 1:29 pm

For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, Virgin Gorda Airport is open for flights.

The first flight to touch down in Virgin Gorda since March 2020 was a flight on luxury airline Tradewind Aviation.

Tradewind VP David Zipkin was on the flight to reopen the airport.

During the pandemic, Virgin Gorda re-emerged as one of the Caribbean’s leading luxury destinations, buoyed by a sales surge at the sprawling Oil Nut Bay development.
