The Montserrat Tourist Board has just announced the release of Windward Island Airways’ (Winair) revised summer flight schedule that includes a minimum of three daily non-stop flights from V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua to John A. Osborne Airport in Montserrat during the months of July and August. Winair will add a fourth flight to the schedule to accommodate passengers on high demand dates. In addition, the regional carrier’s contract, which was originally scheduled to end September 30, 2009, has been extended into 2010.
“As the scheduled air service provider to the destination, Winair is a vital part of our tourism industry,” said Ernestine Cassell, director of tourism. “We are pleased to see that the carrier is committed to making Montserrat more accessible by continuing to provide the traveling public with flight options especially during the summer travel season.”

Montserrat, the only country outside of Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as a national holiday, is a lush green and mountainous island of approximately 39 square miles that lies in the Eastern Caribbean chain of islands. Known fondly as the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, this pear shaped island is a traveler’s paradise for nature lovers, divers, adventurers, family and villa vacationers, and honeymooners. This British overseas territory boasts the spectacular SoufriГЁre Hills Volcano, a modern day Pompeii in the form of its buried former capital city Plymouth, alongside lush, green mountains, world class nature trails, deserted dark sand beaches, untouched reefs and a quiet friendly charm reminiscent of the way the Caribbean used to be.
