Taxis must now join designated association to operate at airport

The BVI Airports Authority (BVIAA) has announced that all taxi operators wishing to continue working at the airport must join the designated Airport Taxi Association by February 17.

According to BVIAA Corporate Administrator Drusilla Fahie, an official association has always existed, but another group was informally established over time. The BVIAA is now streamlining operations by consolidating all airport taxi services under a single, recognized association.

“Historically, there was one association, but at some point, there was a split, leading to two. We are now working to bring it back to one,” Fahie explained.

She added that this approach is standard practice in many countries and aims to simplify interactions between taxi operators and airport authorities.

The BVIAA stated that the designated association will oversee all airport taxi services and enforce a strict code of conduct for its members. Moving forward, all matters related to airport taxi operations will be handled exclusively through this association.

BVI News contacted Taxi and Livery Commission head Jevaughn Parsons for comment, but he stated that he had not yet reviewed the BVIAA’s statement and could not provide a response at this time.
