This comes as Minister for Communications and Works Hon Kye M. Rymer (R5) announced that American Airlines, starting June 1, 2023, will provide daily direct flights between the Terrence B. Lettsome International Airport at Beef Island and the Miami International Airport on the mainland USA.
However, according to Skelton-Cline, with the announcement came a sea of criticisms from persons in the VI who voiced their disapproval over some potentially high costs of tickets.
“Virgin Islander… we are experts, we are experts in criticism. It looks like as Virgin islanders, we just love to criticise. No matter what it is, no matter who it is,” he remarked during the December 6, 2022, edition of his Honestly Speaking show on ZBVI 780 AM.
It was announced by Hon Kye M. Rymer
(R5) and American Airlines separately on December 2, 2022, that starting
June 1, 2023, American Airlines will begin daily direct flights between
the Terrence B. Lettsome International Airport at Beef Island and the
Miami International Airport in the Mainland USA.
