Saint Vincent's modern international gateway to the Caribbean.

Opened

Location
Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Argyle International Airport (IATA: SVD, ICAO: TVSA) is the primary international airport serving Kingstown, the capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It replaced the former E.T. Joshua Airport, which was limited by a short runway that prevented large jet aircraft from landing directly on the island. The airport was constructed on the eastern coast of Saint Vincent near the village of Argyle, requiring significant land reclamation and earthworks. It opened in 2017 after years of delays and cost overruns, representing the largest infrastructure project in the country's history. The facility is capable of handling wide-body jet aircraft, enabling direct connections to a wider range of destinations including North America and other Caribbean hubs, greatly improving accessibility for tourists and residents alike.
Terminals
The airport has a single passenger terminal designed to handle international and regional traffic in one facility.
