British Caribbean Airways (officially BCA Limited) was a short lived British airline. In February 1986, it was announced that the airline would be purchasing a BAe 146-100 plane, with a second ordered for November that year.[1] In April 1986, the airline officially started a flight from Miami, Florida, to Tortola, British Virgin Islands (BVI),[2][3] with an intermediate stop at Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. Its flights into Tortola marked the only time this small airport in the BVI had a scheduled passenger jet service.[2]
In August 1986, the managing director John Bull announced that they would be suspending their flights to the British Virgin Islands.[4] On 12 October 1986, the airline operated its last flight.[5]
