BVI Airport Information - Beef Island, Tortola
The aerial hub of the British Virgin Islands lies on Beef Island, Tortola, a peninsula that connects itself to the main landmass by a narrow strip of land off of the east coast. Most travelers to the BVI will eventually land at the Beef Island/Tortola International Airport, but there are no direct flights into Beef Island/Tortola, from the North American mainland. Local BVI government measures to preserve the islands' natural appeal prevent large international carriers from landing at Beef Island/Tortola, or the airport at Virgin Gorda; flights from the US and Canada (as well as Europe) must connect, rather, via another Caribbean island on one of the smaller island-hopper airlines which are accepted at Beef Island/Tortola. Convenient daily flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas, USVI, make this a viable alternative. Cape Air, Air Sunshine, and American Eagle all offer service between Beef Island/Tortola and both San Juan and St. Thomas. There are other ways of reaching the BVI besides flying into the Beef Island/Tortola airport. Visitors can also ferry from St. Thomas to Tortola on one of several ferry operators offering daily service, including Speedy's Ferries, Native Son Inc., and Nubian Princess.
