Rochester says practical advances can help tackle the Caribbean’s wider airlift challenge
THE VALLEY, Anguilla (Sept. 30, 2026) — Anguilla Director of Tourism Jameel Rochester has congratulated Trans Anguilla Airways (TAA) on its decision to establish a dedicated office and locally based team at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in St. Kitts, describing the investment as a meaningful step toward stronger regional connectivity.
The new office, which officially opens today, will deepen the Anguillian-owned and -operated airline’s presence in St. Kitts and Nevis, enhance customer support, and allow TAA to work more closely with tourism, airport and travel trade partners in the Federation.
“TAA’s expanded presence represents much more than the opening of an airport office,” said Rochester. “It demonstrates confidence in the market, a commitment to passengers and a long-term investment in moving people more effectively among our Caribbean destinations. On behalf of the Anguilla Tourist Board, I congratulate the TAA team on this important milestone.”
“St. Kitts is more than another destination within our network,” said Vernol Gumbs, managing director of Trans Anguilla Airways. “We have longstanding ties to the Federation and consider it a second home to TAA. Establishing our own office and local team reflects our long-term commitment to the market and will enable us to provide passengers with direct, hands-on support while working more closely with our tourism and travel partners.”
Rochester, who represents Anguilla on the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s Airlift Committee, said dependable and affordable regional transportation is essential to the Caribbean’s tourism competitiveness and economic development.
“The regional air connectivity challenge will not be solved overnight or by one airline, one route or one agreement,” he said. “It will take sustained cooperation and a series of practical advances. We should recognize the value of each step forward — a new office, additional service, increased capacity or easier booking — because together they move us closer to a better-connected Caribbean.”
Through its scheduled and charter operations, TAA connects Anguilla with neighboring destinations including Antigua, Nevis, St. Barths, St. Eustatius, St. Kitts, St. Maarten and Tortola. TAA’s regional network also complements international air service to Anguilla, offering travelers additional options to connect with services operated by carriers including American Airlines and BermudAir, subject to schedules and individual booking requirements.
TAA’s recent availability through a global distribution system (GDS) has also increased its international visibility, making its services more accessible to travel advisors, tour operators and travelers.
TAA is also advancing plans to introduce the Beechcraft King Air C90 to its fleet with preparatory training and regulatory certification processes underway. The additional aircraft type is expected to strengthen the airline’s operational flexibility and support the continued development of its regional services.
“For small island destinations, every dependable connection matters,” said Rochester. “Regional airlift supports visitor arrivals and spending, commerce, family connections, and multi-destination travel. Our aviation partners are making an increasingly important contribution to both Anguilla’s accessibility and wider Caribbean connectivity.”
The TAA expansion forms part of a broader strengthening of Anguilla’s air access. American Airlines continues its Miami–Anguilla service, while BermudAir is resuming and expanding winter service from the United States and Canada, including new service from Toronto and Tampa/St. Petersburg, along with service from Boston, Newark and Baltimore-Washington. Together, these developments provide travelers with greater regional and international access to Anguilla.
Trans Anguilla Airways will officially open its new St. Kitts office with a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, Sept. 30, 2026 at 3 p.m. at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport.
News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Tues. Sept. 29, 2026: Four Caribbean immigrants – three from Jamaica and one from the Bahamas – are among those facing charges in a wave of noncitizen voting cases announced this week by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which said it assisted Florida and New Jersey investigators in building the cases.
In Florida, the state’s Office of Statewide Prosecution charged 16 non-U.S. citizens with registering to vote by falsely claiming citizenship and then casting ballots, working with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Department of State’s Office of Election Crimes, and USCIS. Among them:
Selvin Uton Whilby, 74, of Tampa, a Jamaican national and lawful permanent resident since March 1989. He registered to vote in 2008, falsely affirming U.S. citizenship, and voted by mail in both the 2024 primary and general elections as part of a mail-voting history dating back to 2008. He later signed a form acknowledging he is not a citizen and faces two counts of Unqualified Noncitizen Electors Willfully Voting.
Craig William Smith, 69, of Ocala, a Bahamian national and lawful permanent resident since March 1978. He registered in 2002, falsely claiming citizenship, and voted in the 2024 primary and general elections as part of a voting history dating to 2006. He also signed a Citizenship Acknowledgement Form admitting he is not a citizen, and faces two counts of the same charge.
Kadian Gabrielle Amai Johnson, 29, of Lehigh Acres, a Jamaican national and lawful permanent resident since April 2018. She registered on Sept. 30, 2024, falsely affirming citizenship, and voted in person on Nov. 5, 2024. She is charged with Unqualified Noncitizen Electors Willfully Voting and False Swearing.
Each charge is a third-degree felony under Florida law, carrying up to 10 years in the Florida Department of Corrections.
In New Jersey, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey – through its Election Integrity Task Force – separately charged Patrick Terrance Reid, 61, of Orange, N.J., a Jamaican national who entered the U.S. on an SA1 immigrant visa. Prosecutors allege Reid voted in person in the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections and by mail in 2020 and 2024, despite not being a citizen at the time. He is charged with voting by an alien in a federal election and making false statements on his naturalization application (Form N-400), where he allegedly denied ever having registered or voted. The voting charge carries up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine; the false-statement charge carries up to 10 years and a $250,000 fine.
USCIS said the investigations relied on federal database checks, voter registration and poll-book records, and Citizenship Acknowledgement Forms signed by several of the defendants admitting their noncitizen status. As with all four cases, the charges are accusations, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The investigations remain active, with USCIS and federal partners signaling additional charges and arrests are expected.
