American Airlines has cancelled its scheduled evening flights between the British Virgin Islands and Miami today, Friday, November 13, following a nationwide ground stop issued by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The BVI Airports Authority confirmed the cancellations in an advisory, noting that the ground stop is affecting US-bound flights departing the Territory. Regional flights remain unaffected and are operating as scheduled.
The disruption comes amid reports of a telecommunications outage affecting US air traffic control operations, prompting the FAA to temporarily halt departures across the country.
The Airports Authority said it is working closely with American Airlines and aviation officials to monitor developments and minimise disruptions as flight operations resume.
Meanwhile, the Government of the Virgin Islands has urged travellers to contact their airlines directly for updates on flight schedules.
Further information on flights to and from the Territory will be provided through the official pages of the BVI Airports Authority and the BVI Tourist Board & Film Commission.
