Flying to the U.S. Virgin Islands

Overview

St. Croix and St. Thomas have airports, while St. John does not and requires a connection through St. Thomas. Most traffic—both scheduled and charter—lands on St. Thomas, where the capital Charlotte Amalie is also located. Direct flights operate to/from the U.S. and other Caribbean islands. In a way, this same airport also serves the nearby British Virgin Islands, which lack airports capable of handling medium- or long-haul flights. St. Croix’s airport, meanwhile, has its own small network to the U.S. and surrounding islands, plus the archipelago’s only direct link to Europe via Copenhagen with Norwegian.

For more arrival options, consider flying to Puerto Rico, just a few dozen kilometers away.

Types of flights

The U.S. Virgin Islands are served by three or four small airlines that connect to neighboring islands with small-capacity aircraft.

Local airlines

• Aero Gorda: operates three flights per week from St. Thomas to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.

• Coastal Air: two small Cessna aircraft based in St. Croix. The airline offers a few scheduled and on-demand flights to several Caribbean islands.

• Hummingbird Air: despite occasional disruptions and temporary flight suspensions, this St. Croix-based airline operates scheduled, charter, and cargo flights to various islands, including Sint Maarten, Dominica, St. Lucia, and St. Thomas.

• Seaborne Airlines: now based in Puerto Rico (after relocating from St. Croix), the airline serves 17 destinations in the region, including the U.S. Virgin Islands, the French Antilles, and the Dominican Republic.
