USVI governor wants strong aerial highways

ATLANTA, USA — As the US Virgin Islands announces the return of hotels and resorts to the accommodations landscape over the next few months, the leader of the US territory committed his government to secure increased airlift to fill those rooms.

Speaking after a successful meeting with Delta Air Lines’ leadership team in Atlanta Thursday, Governor Albert Bryan Jr said a strong aerial highway policy was critically important to the Territory’s future and his administration was exploring every avenue to boost relations with airline partners.

“We have been meeting and talking with airline officials since we took office and this session here in Atlanta was no different – getting important feedback on the performance of routes into St Croix and St Thomas and giving our partners at Delta an update on our tourism rebound and recovery,” said Bryan.

Bryan, who was accompanied by Tourism Commissioner Nominee Joseph Boschulte, reported that Delta was generally satisfied with the performance of its routes into both of the territory’s airports and committed his teams at both the department of tourism and the Virgin Islands Port Authority to identify opportunities for capacity increases with the airline.
