One of the problems at EIS is their high fuel prices along with very high handling fees. It is costing my family between $1000-$2000 to land a small turboprop from Vero Beach Florida.. Usually we just land, passengers get off and the plane goes to STT to stay there for a week or 2. Fuel prices at STT are much lower and it it is very convenient for the pilot to get a plane flight to go home and them again come down to STT to pick up the plane and go to EIS to pick up passengers.

Fuel prices today Jet A St Thomas $4.55/gal Tortola $9.55/gal
