Is it possible to fly directly from Anegada to San Juan? If so, which carrier provides this service? No scheduled commercial flights, but there are several charter companies that will do this. I'd start with Island Birds or Cape Air.

Cape Air is a US FAA "Part 121" operation, and, as such, can only fly scheduled air service. They are prohibited from flying on-demand charter to or from anywhere. Weird. They heavily promote their charter business on their website.

Part 121 airlines can and do fly charters all the time. Charters are flown under 135 rules. Delta is one of the largest charter airlines in the world and even has a fleet of 757’s equipped just for charters. Well, I stand corrected! Thanks, George!

You currently can’t fly directly to Anegada as it is not a covid point of entry for customs. What you can do is book a flight SJU-EIS then Anegada. You will clear customs and COVID at EIS and jump back on the aircraft to fly to Anegada. It will be a extra cost. G The OP is trying to fly out directly. Can you think of any aircraft clearing rules that would prevent this? Air Margarita is a good option to try. We've use them in a pinch before when we had issues with Air America Caribbean (who was great pre-Irma).

I miss read the direction. There should be no reason they can’t do that. The BVI might however require the pilot to stop at EIS on the inbound leg.

There are no aircraft rules prohibiting it however you have to clear the BVI covid check in and it’s not offered on Anegada as far as I know. The stop in EIS should be under 30 minutes. Not yet, but I think it will be available soon for vaccinated arrivals.
