Providenciales, TCI, December 28, 2016 – The South Caicos airport was faced with troubles again, as on Boxing Day, December 26, flights could not land at the site. According to InterCaribbean Airways, which issued a statement, there was insufficient fire service at the terminal and so it could not accommodate air traffic.
ICA says the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority advised them of the situation which caused a stop to their domestic air service into and out of South. ICA also explained in that media release, they did not anticipate there would be a resumption of service before today.
Magnetic Media got word around 9:30am, (December 28) that the airport in South Caicos, also known as, XSC is reopened for flights. The airline, through its CEO, Trevor Sadler said once it got the green light, flights to South Caicos would resume.
Caicos Express Airways has confirmed that it will run at least two flights into South Caicos today. The TCIAA issued no public notice through media. South Caicos is now home to two resorts and this is the second hiccup at the airport this month.
Up to news production time, this morning, there has been no information from the Airports Authority, which is charged with overseeing the country’s airports. News of the reopening was also not communicated by the TCIAA, but by airlines serving the route.
