By 2001 he had switched parties, joining the New People's Liberation Movement. A major issue for his government has been the continuing recovery of the island of Montserrat after a volcanic eruption which devastated the southern part of the island, burying the capital city of Plymouth in ash and forcing its population to flee, in many cases off the island due to lack of housing. The eruption, which began in July 1995, continues today on a vastly reduced scale, the damage being confined to Plymouth and the surrounding areas.
As of 2005, a new airport and docking facilities have opened and Montserratians and tourists alike are beginning to return. In July 2008, Gerald's Airport in Montserrat was renamed John A. Osborne Airport in his honour.
