Virgin Gorda Airport Is Open Again in the British Virgin Islands

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 25, 2021

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.
