Airports in British Virgin Islands

British Virgin Islands travel Forum

Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS)

Overview

Beef Island Airport, or the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS), is a tiny airport serving the British Virgin Islands. The airport takes up most of Beef Island, which is located just 9 miles (15km) from the region's major island of Tortola. The airport only accepts small aircraft (64-seater maximum), and most traffic consists of chartered flights. Nearby Trellis Bay makes for a fantastic last-minute stop on your way out of the country: a last chance to soak up some Caribbean sun before boarding the plane to take you back home.

Location

The airport is situated nine miles (15km) from Road Town, Tortola.

Getting to the city

Taxis are available. Many resorts provide water launches or courtesy vans for their guests.

Time

Local time is GMT -4.
