Tourism Minister Carlos James also expressed his gratitude to the Virgin Atlantic for showing its continuous trust in the destination and noted that St Vincent and the Grenadines is ideally positioned to become a significant aviation hub within the Caribbean region. 

The announcement of these direct flights comes at an ideal time as these will assist passengers to travel on the route easily and according to their own convenience. These flights will also help the airline in expanding its route across Caribbean. 

As of now, Virgin Atlantic serves to a number of destinations in the region with direct flights to Barbados, Antigua and Jamaica as well as inter-island flights between Grenada, Barbados and St Vincent. The airline aims to offer local connectivity within the Caribbean and offer more options for leisure travellers from London, UK and Europe. 

The airline has successfully cemented its position in the Caribbean becoming a major competition in the industry. The British airline is determined to provide local connections within the region, making it much easier for people seeking to travel in the Caribbean region to connect through direct flights.
