- last modified on December 4, 2024
Robert L. Bradshaw Airport (SKB/TKPK) is the only airport on the island of St. Kitts and is located north of Basseterre’s downtown. The airport is mainly served by regional carriers, such as LIAT, Winair and Seaborne. American and Delta operate daily scheduled flights from/to the US mainland. British Airways sends a 772 from LGW (via ANU) twice a week, which is the only connection from/to Europe. A handful of cargo carriers can be seen here as well, e. g. Fedex Feeder (Cessna Caravan) and Amerijet (762F or 763F). Due to the predominant wind direction runway 07 is being used for takeoffs and landings most of the times.

Use C’S Taxis and Tours to get from the cruise port. It is $10 each way. Friendly drivers. |

I visited on November 9 while on a cruise. The bridge has a good parapet you can sit on in the heat as well as a tree beside it which provides good shade. The Sol petrol station is a 2 minute walk and good to purchase food.
I used C’S Taxis and Tours to get from the cruise port and was $10 each way and took no payment till the return journey. He was even so genuine he came by during the day to check everything was ok with me, not that infers I was in danger in any way. I can provide contact details if required and have pics available of my visit.
