Also known as: Piarco Airport, Port of Spain Airport, Trinidad Airport, POS Airport, Trinidad Piarco Airport.
POS · TTPP · Port of Spain
Piarco International Airport (POS) is the main international airport of Trinidad and Tobago, serving Port of Spain and the island of Trinidad. It is the hub of Caribbean Airlines, which flies from here to Tobago, across the Caribbean, to Georgetown and Paramaribo, and to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, New York and Toronto. American Airlines, JetBlue, United Airlines, Air Canada, British Airways, KLM and Copa Airlines link Piarco with North America, Europe and Panama, and regional carriers such as InterCaribbean Airways and Winair serve nearby islands.
All passenger flights use the North Terminal, with a western concourse for international airlines, an eastern concourse for Caribbean Airlines and a separate Tobago concourse for the short domestic flights to A.N.R. Robinson International Airport. The older South Terminal handles general aviation, cargo and helicopters.
The airport sits in Piarco, in the Tunapuna–Piarco region, about 30 km east of downtown Port of Spain. The drive takes around 30 minutes with light traffic, along the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway, and much longer at rush hours.
From the airport, travelers head to Port of Spain, Woodbrook, St. Clair and the Queen's Park Savannah, to Maraval, Westmoorings and Chaguaramas in the northwest, to Maracas Bay on the north coast, to Arima and the Northern Range, and south to Chaguanas and San Fernando.

Before you fly, complete the online Arrival Card at travel.gov.tt, which replaced the paper immigration forms on 17 March 2026 and can be filled in up to 72 hours before travel. Many nationalities visit without a visa, but check your passport's status with the Immigration Division first.
International flights park at the western concourse (Gates 1 to 7) or, for Caribbean Airlines, the eastern concourse (Gates 8 to 14). Follow the Arrivals signs to immigration, then collect your bags at one of the four belts in the baggage hall and clear customs. Declare food, including meat, fruit and vegetables, along with gifts, alcohol, tobacco and commercial goods. Lost and transit baggage is handled in the customs hall baggage claim area.
The Arrivals Hall has car rental desks and places to eat, and the Atrium beyond it has ATMs, exchange bureaus and the Airport Information booth. Authorized taxis wait outside the Arrivals Hall; they are not metered, so agree the fare before you leave. Trinidad is on UTC-4 all year, and traffic drives on the left.
A pre-booked transfer or an authorized taxi suits most arrivals, especially with luggage or after dark; the bus suits light travelers on weekdays.
Authorized taxis wait outside the Arrivals Hall and work on fixed fares rather than meters, so confirm the price with the driver first. The drive to downtown Port of Spain takes around 30 minutes with light traffic and much longer at rush hours.
The Public Transport Service Corporation runs an hourly weekday bus between the airport and City Gate, Port of Spain's main transit hub, where you can change to other buses and maxi taxis. It is the slowest option and awkward with large bags.
Local and international rental companies have desks in the Arrivals Hall, with cars collected at the curb. Traffic drives on the left, and rush-hour congestion around Port of Spain is heavy.
Pre-booked drivers meet passengers outside customs in the Arrivals Hall and drive directly to hotels and homes in Port of Spain, Maraval, Westmoorings, Chaguaramas or elsewhere on the island. It suits families, groups and late arrivals.
Caribbean Airlines connects Piarco with A.N.R. Robinson International Airport in Tobago several times a day, a flight of about 20 minutes from the Tobago concourse of the North Terminal.

Piarco International Airport is about 30 km east of downtown Port of Spain. With light traffic the drive takes around 30 minutes, mainly along the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway, but traffic into the capital is heavy at rush hours, so allow considerably more time on weekday mornings and evenings.

Yes. Piarco International Airport (POS) is the airport travelers call Port of Spain airport or Trinidad airport.

Robinson International Airport (TAB), on the separate island of Tobago.
Piarco has two terminals, but passengers use only one.

All of them use the North Terminal.
Caribbean Airlines flies several times a day from Piarco to A.N.R. Robinson International Airport in Tobago, a flight of about 20 minutes. Domestic flights use the Tobago concourse of the North Terminal, so you stay in the same building if you connect from an international arrival. The inter-island ferry is the other option, leaving from Port of Spain rather than the airport.
Yes. Authorized taxis wait outside the Arrivals Hall at Piarco. Taxis in Trinidad are not metered: airport taxis work on fixed fares, so confirm the price with the driver before you set off and check the approved rates shown at the taxi stand. Legal taxis carry license plates that start with the letter H.
Yes. The Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) runs an hourly weekday bus between the airport and City Gate in Port of Spain, where you can change to other buses and maxi taxis. Buses do not run around the clock, tickets must be bought before boarding, and space for large suitcases is limited, so the bus suits light travelers arriving in the daytime.
Yes. Since 17 March 2026, everyone entering or leaving Trinidad and Tobago completes an Arrival or Departure Card online at travel.gov.tt instead of the old paper forms. You can fill it in up to 72 hours before travel, so do it before your flight and keep the confirmation on your phone for the immigration desk at Piarco.
It depends on your passport. Citizens of CARICOM member states except Haiti, of European Union and other Schengen countries, and of most Commonwealth countries can visit without a visa, while a number of other nationalities need one in advance. Check the current list with the Immigration Division of Trinidad and Tobago before you travel.

Yes. Caribbean Airlines runs the Club Caribbean lounge on the eastern concourse, used by its own flights, and the VIP Flyer's Lounge is on the western concourse used by the other international airlines.

Yes. The public parking area at Piarco offers hourly, daily and monthly parking.

Trinidad and Tobago is on Atlantic Standard Time, UTC-4, all year, with no daylight saving time.
