Location: Barbados
Event: The Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados is exploring the possibility of another flight with the commercial carrier – Seaborne Airlines/Silver Airways –from Barbados (BGI) to San Juan (SJU), Puerto Rico (U.S.A.) for the purpose of repatriating U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens who are interested in this potential flight opportunity should contact the Embassy by emailing us at BridgetownACS@state.gov. In the subject line of your email, please write “[Your Surname] – Repat Flight from Barbados to San Juan”. Please include your name, contact number, and the number of people who would be flying with you in the body of the email. Please respond no later than Sunday, May 10.
Please note the following:
· The cost of this flight would be roughly $650 per passenger.
· Onward travel options from San Juan to mainland U.S. are the responsibility of the passenger.
· We are targeting this flight for the morning of Friday, May 15.
· This flight will only become a reality if enough people are committed to take it. Otherwise, it becomes cost prohibitive for the airline.
U.S. citizens who choose not to take this flight should be prepared to remain in Barbados until restrictions on passenger movements are lifted and commercial airline flights resume.
Please do not contact the airline about this flight. We are only exploring the level of interest from our U.S. citizens at this time.
Please continue to monitor the U.S. Embassy website for updated information.
