BRADES, Montserrat, October 17th, 2012 – Following the grounding of Fly Montserrat late Tuesday, the Government of Montserrat announced that St. Vincent and the Grenadines Airline (SVG Air), will be adding more flights to meet the demands of the flying public.
The Honourable Premier Reuben T. Meade said discussions will continue with SVG and another regional airline to ensure that with the coming festival season visitors will be able to travel to and from Montserrat.
He added that the ferry will be another reliable alternative for nationals and others planning to come home for the annual festival celebrations.
“It’s important to reiterate that we are aware of the critical importance of residents and visitors being able to travel when they need to. That is why we have been pursuing relationships with other carriers to ensure that both our air and sea access meet the needs of travellers,” Premier Meade said.
Presently the government is soliciting bids for both ferry and air travel services to support the current transportation needs.
SVG Air has been providing daily flights between Antigua and Montserrat since March 2011. Travellers with bookings on Fly Montserrat need to get in touch with the airline at info@flymontserrat.com or 664-491-3434, so that they can make transfer arrangements along with payments to SVG Air. SVG Air can be reached online at www.svgair.com and by telephone at 664-491-4200.
Montserrat will celebrate its 50th cultural festival from December 14 to January 2, 2013. More information on travelling to Montserrat and the festival are available online at www.visitmontserrat.com and www.montserratfestival.com.
