International Airport

Perhaps the most modern and attractive Air Terminal in the English-speaking Caribbean, the Robert L Bradshaw International Airport makes travel to and from St. Kitts a pleasure. 

Completed in 1998, the Terminal has spacious Arrival and Departure lounges, VIP Accommodation, an escalator and elevator in Arrival and Departure suites, ramps for the disabled, flight information display screens, and a number of retail shops and restaurants.  The service extended to travelers is well supported by the Airport’s commitment to safety and adherence to international security procedures.

The Terminal offers a variety of aircraft handling services on a rental basis, including Airstart Unit, Highloader, Passenger Stairs, and Ground Power Units.  Aircargo services are also provided by a number of freight forwarders, including Fedex, DHL, and UPS.

At 2,439 metres long and 45 metres wide, the Airport’s runway can accommodate up to DC10 type aircraft. Fire-fighting capability is category 8.

In early 2003, the Airport’s new Control Tower and MET Office were officially opened, significantly improving the Federation’s ability to provide enhanced aeronautical services.

Work has recently begun on the Runway Expansion Project, which will enable the Airport to accommodate more wide-bodied aircraft.  This Project is slated for completion by November 2006.
