Remote island gateway serving Príncipe, São Tomé and Príncipe.

Location
Príncipe Island, São Tomé and Príncipe
Príncipe Airport, with IATA code PCP and ICAO code FPPR, is the main airport serving the island of Príncipe, the smaller of the two main islands of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe in the Gulf of Guinea off West Africa. The airport handles limited regional traffic, primarily connecting Príncipe to the capital island of São Tomé. It serves a small but growing number of tourists drawn to Príncipe's designation as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and its ecotourism offerings. Due to the island's small population and remote location, the airport operates on a modest scale with minimal infrastructure, supporting light aircraft and small regional turboprops rather than large commercial jets.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a remote island destination.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on Príncipe is limited, with taxis and hotel transfers being the primary options for reaching Santo António, the island's main town.
Airlines here
STP Airways and Equaflight Service have historically operated regional flights connecting Príncipe to São Tomé Island.
