    Increased air travel connections between Latin America and the BVI   

    Tortola, British Virgin Islands, February 18, 2014 – Travel to the British Virgin Islands (BVI) from Latin America is easier now with additional flight options. Starting Tuesday, 18 February 2014 Windward Islands Airways International (WINAIR) will provide round-trip connections between Beef Island (EIS) with Copa Airlines via St. Maarten (SXM) three days per week.  
     
    Copa Airlines flies from several Latin American countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Peru with connections in Panama (PTY) and onto St. Maarten (SXM) four days a week. The Copa flight connected previously only on the inbound to EIS but with the new overnight service on WINAIR, BVI will have round trip connectivity three days a week. 
     
    “Latin American travelers have shown a burgeoning interest in a Caribbean vacation as proven by the double-digit growth in arrivals recorded in the last couple years.  This is an opportune time for the BVI and as such, the BVI Tourist Board has been working assiduously to attract more visitors from that region. The British Virgin Islands offers the vacation experience and amenities that they seek,” said Nerdin St. Rose, Worldwide Marketing Consultant for the BVI Tourist Board. “We are very excited to offer more connectivity and easier access to the BVI. WINAIR and Copa Airlines will be instrumental in helping us to grow that market and especially Brazil and Argentina. We thank WINAIR for partnering with us on our expansion in that important market.”

    The schedule of the WINAIR flights from EIS, which connects on the outbound with Copa Airlines will be on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays as follows:
     
    • SXM-EIS Departs 4:55 PM Arrives EIS at 5:40 PM 
     
    • EIS-SXM Departs 7:15 AM Arrives SXM at 8:10 AM 
     
    Copa Airlines arrives to SXM from PTY at 11:24 AM and departs SXM at 12:15 PM.
    The daily service on the other days of the week remains as is. WINAIR operates 19-seater de Havilland Twin Otter aircrafts into the BVI.

    About the British Virgin Islands
    An archipelago comprised of 60 islands and cays, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are located approximately 50 miles east of Puerto Rico, in the northwestern region of the Caribbean Sea. The main islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. Road Town, located on Tortola, is the British Virgin Islands’ capital.
     
    Renowned as one of the world’s premier sailing destinations, the BVI’s dynamic and vast topography provides a unique opportunity to “island hop” with ease — with each island characterized by its own cultural and natural wonders. Among these attractions are The Baths on Virgin Gorda, Anegada’s Flamingo Pond, and Tortola’s Sage Mountain. Destination highlights also include world-class yachting, snorkeling, hiking, sustainable tourism and, for diving enthusiasts, the Caribbean’s most stunning wreck dives, such as the RMS Rhone. 
     
    A pristine and romantic island paradise evoking a bygone era, the British Virgin Islands are nonetheless easily accessible for U.S. travelers flying into Tortola/Beef Island’s Terrence B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) via frequent connecting service from nearby Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Kitts or St. Maarten/St. Martin. Visitors traveling to the BVI from St. Thomas can also travel via ferry. Despite its status as a United Kingdom territory, the BVI conveniently uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency.
