I have a hotel investment Opportunity in Turks and Caicos, pm for more information! - A lost piece of the British Caribbean is coming in from the cold - A new Virgin Atlantic flight brings the Turks and Caicos Islands, all white sands and five-star playgrounds, a little closer.
The approach to Providenciales Airport is the sort of descent – fraught with a nagging anxiety that ratchets up by the minute – that might give more nervous fliers palpitations. Why? Because there is absolutely nothing beyond the window, as the plane drops lower and lower, but an all-encompassing, horizon-spanning, oceanic blue.
It all works out, of course. A runway appears, magically, below the wheels, and the aircraft glides to a halt without a hiccup. But long before you touch down, you are aware that the Turks and Caicos are no craggy St Lucia, with twin Pitons probing the sky; no volcanic Nevis pushing its caldera into the clouds. These are flat, coral islands, so low to the Caribbean Sea that you will scarcely spot them before you set foot upon them. Three miles north of the airport, the Blue Hills ridge stands as the archipelago’s highest peak, so to speak, rising to an altitude of 161ft (49m). You will struggle to spot it, as well.
I step down onto the tarmac, into a Providenciales International that, similarly, does not claim great scope or stature. You could not mistake it for Barbados’s Grantley Adams Airport, with its near-constant roar of departing engines, and its retired Concorde as a museum piece. The Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787 I have emerged from resembles a condor among chaffinches, towering over the smaller planes and private jets dotted about the airfield. It looks so big that I wonder how it has landed here.
