American Airlines to make test flight to VI May 23, 2023- Hon Kye M. Rymer
Information regarding the test flight was disclosed by Minister for Communications and Works Hon Kye M. Rymer (R5) during the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) closing rally in the area of One Stop Mall in Road Town, Tortola last night, Saturday, April 23, 2023.
Addressing the audience, Hon Rymer, who was also celebrating his birthday on Saturday, reminded that American Airlines will be landing on June 1, 2023.
“We need yall to make sure the Virgin Islands Party will be there receiving this plane at the airport,” Hon Rymer stated.
Test flight in May
The Minister, who was part of the negotiations to get American Airlines to provide direct flights to the VI from Miami, then made the announcement about the scheduled test flight.
“Let me tell you a little secret, they called me from American Airlines and say that they are doing a test flight on May 23rd.”
Hon Rymer said the test flight will originate in Miami and land at Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Beef Island.
“So are we going to receive this plane?” Hon Rymer.
“Yes,” the crowd responded loudly.”
Hon Rymer said he is excited about the venture and the benefits the direct flights will bring to the VI.
He also reminded that it was this Virgin Islands Party (VIP) government that made that happen.
The previous National Democratic Party (NDP) administration failed to bring direct flights to the VI and instead ended up losing $7.2M on the botched deal with BVI Airways.

the complexion of those involved with this multi million dollar project or transition had lots to do with simply brushing that 8 mill under the rug
If that BVI Airways transaction involved our folks it would have been ting to tell King!!
NDP 1 or NDP 2 has failed to list the achievements of VIP for the last 4 years and before. NDP 1 and NDP 2 gave away 7.2 millions in the wind. VIP is going this election with a leader the rest parties are hoping that VIP supporters don’t go and vote. VIP supporters please go and vote and leave Lorna and Marlon to fight and Fraser and Skeleton to battle for leadership.
However I wish voters do the right thing and vote for the rights and not
The Who gets in to grant me special favors I voting them saga.
I am a naturalized Virgin islander and after living in the BVIs for over 45 years,please People that is the only party that cares about people.
They did not cut your incriment in half and buy plane that never left the ground. Now your pension is less.
Vote VIP All the Way.
