Airports in St Lucia

Hewanorra International Airport (UVF)

Overview

Hewanorra International Airport, originally a military airbase, is the larger of St Lucia's two airports. George F. L. Charles Airport is the smaller of the two and is located just outside the centre of Castries. Hewanorra handles roughly 700,000 passengers each year.

The airport is basic, but clean and well run. There's not much to do there, but efficient transportation options to all points of the island make the airport a convenient gateway to the pleasures of a holiday in St Lucia.

Location

The airport is located 34 miles (56km) from Castries, on the southeastern tip of the island.

Getting to the city

The airport is situated on the main highway running north to south on the island, and is served by all taxi companies on the island. The trip to Castries takes about an hour. Local buses are also available but services are infrequent.

Time

GMT -4.
