All the American ATR's are now gone from US passenger service. The ATR's cost to much to fly per seat mile and hour to make any money in a competitive market. Our US airlines not longer want any small planes. They are simply not profitable in a structure where you must run the plane on 9 cents a seat mile hoping to get 15 cents a seat mile from the passengers. Each time you go up and each time you go down money is spent. The same with each time you stop at an airport. The 3 hop to get the BVI is also economically unsustainable. There are 2 ATR's that remain with Cape Air flying the Guam, Rota and Saipan routes where there is no competition and swimming is just not possible. Most were simply handed back to the banks. FedEx does have 20-30 flying cargo. There are simply not enough seats to sell on the smaller planes to cover the cost of capital, the pilots and crew, service, and fuel. The small regional jets seating 50 will be the next to go. The slower prop planes get hit twice. Small number of seats and the slower speeds reduce the number of legs they can fly each day or period. Anyplace their is competition or passengers concerned with price the small plane jet or prop are toast. The result just like EIS lost service many others have lost airline service and another 20-30 are on the block to be cut soon. Either you have regular airline jet service or none at all. With well over 300,000 overnight visitors the BVI can more than support jet service coupled with the fact that the 30,000 residents are not going to drive anywhere off island.
