Access
St Helena is served by its own ship, the Royal Mail Ship 'St Helena' known to all as the RMS. The Island is also visited by yachts and cruise ships.
In recent years, there has been much discussion about the introduction of an international airport to improve access to and from the island. However, the project has been placed on pause by the British Government in light of the global financial crisis. The St Helena Government is now awaiting a decision from HMG since the intention was to introduce air access by 2012. More information can be found at www.sainthelenaaccess.com/
