New Airline For Montserrat

Montserrat, West Indies
May 29, 2009

Received this via Facebook from an old mate on the BEAUTIFUL island of Montserrat.  Great news for them, and we wish our neigboring island all the best with this new venture!

“Montserrat Airways is up, licensed and running! They fly their first charter flight tomorrow and the plan is to add another plane within the next few months and then a Twin Otter for the winter season. It will be necessary to be a scheduled airline soon in order to be viable. I’m proud to say that our middle son, Jesse, is one of the pilots and is really happy to be back to his island home after flying in the US for the last few years.

You can check them out and read about all the latest developments at: www.flymontserrat.com

The first aircraft is an Islander. It has been completely refurbished inside and out and was painted with the new logos in Vancouver BC. Captain Nigel and Jesse then flew it for some forty hours, hop scotching their way across the US and over the Bahamas, finally touching down at Geralds on Wednesday.

It’s an historic day for the Emerald Isle and we hope that everyone gets behind this new effort to make it a success and make the access to the best little island in the world, the best in the Caribbean. Congratulations to Montserrat Airways!

Acting Premier of Nevis Hon. Robelto Hector made the call ahead of the June 01 – November 30 hurrricane season, when he spoke to the Department of Information on Friday.

“The Hurricane season is fast approaching and at this time I would like to ask residents to be very cautious even though the season is predicted to be near normal.

“Be cautious and start your preparations heeding in particular the words of the Nevis Disaster Management Department (NDMD)…I want us to bear in mind that a hurricaane at this time is something that we must be prepared for,” he said.

The Minister used the opportunity to praise the NDMD for its invaluable direction to residents in particular, during the hurricane season and advised the public to continue to heed the advice.

He said it was important to remember the devastating effects past hurricanes have had on the island and more recently the passage of Hurricane Omar in 2008.

“We must remember what happened during Hurricane Omar, today we[Nevis Island Administration] are still seeking to address some of the effects we felt it in the agricultural sector and in the whole economy of this island,” he said.

The NIA has declared June 01 a national day of prayer for protection during the Hurricane season.

According to the April 2009 forecast by Scientists Mr. Phil Klotzbach and Professor William Grey of the Colorado State University Tropical Meteorology Project, the Atlantic Basin activity is expected generate 12 named storms, six of which are expected to become hurricanes.
