Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport

Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport is about 3 km (2 miles) from downtown Basseterre, on the capital's northeastern edge at Golden Rock. The drive to the center and the Port Zante cruise pier takes around 10 minutes. Frigate Bay is a short drive further south, and the Southeast Peninsula with Christophe Harbour takes longer along the peninsula road.

The IATA code for St. Kitts is SKB, and the ICAO code is TKPK. The airport's official name is Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, after the first Premier of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, and it was formerly called Golden Rock Airport. Nevis has its own smaller airport, Vance W. Amory International (NEV).

St. Kitts has one passenger terminal, used by every scheduled airline for international and regional flights. Arriving passengers go through immigration, baggage claim and customs and leave through a single arrivals hall. A separate private terminal beside it, the YU Lounge, serves private jets and passengers who book its VIP service.

American Airlines flies from Miami year-round, with seasonal flights from New York JFK and Charlotte. Delta, United and JetBlue add flights from Atlanta, Newark and New York, Air Canada Rouge flies from Toronto in winter, and British Airways serves London Gatwick. Winair, InterCaribbean, Sunrise Airways and Cape Air connect nearby islands.

You need a passport valid for six months beyond your stay and, depending on nationality, a visa. Every arriving traveler completes the free online immigration and customs ED form at knatravelform.kn, and visitors from many countries, including the US and Canada, also need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before they fly. Check the current rules for your passport.

There is no road link, so you continue by sea or air. Passenger ferries leave from the ferry terminal in Basseterre for Charlestown, and the Sea Bridge car ferry runs from Major's Bay on the Southeast Peninsula. Water taxis also cross from the peninsula, and Cape Air flies to Nevis's own airport.

Yes. Taxis wait at the stand outside the arrivals hall, with a dispatcher. They have no meters and charge fixed fares by zone, posted at the airport, for one to four passengers, with a surcharge late at night. Confirm the total and whether it is quoted in EC or US dollars before you leave.

No public buses serve the terminal. St. Kitts has privately run minibuses, marked with H license plates, on the island's main road, but they do not go to Frigate Bay or the Southeast Peninsula, and service thins out in the evening and on Sundays. Most visitors take a taxi or a pre-booked car from the airport.

Yes. Several rental agencies deliver cars at the airport. Visitors need a temporary local driving permit, which the rental agency issues on presentation of a home license. Traffic drives on the left, roads are narrow in places, and many rental contracts do not allow the car on the Sea Bridge ferry to Nevis.

Yes. The YU Lounge is a private terminal beside the main terminal, opened in 2014. It serves private jet passengers and commercial passengers who book its VIP service, with a greeting at the aircraft, fast-track immigration and customs, refreshments and Wi-Fi. Contact the lounge ahead of your trip for access.

St. Kitts and Nevis uses the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted in hotels, shops and taxis, though change often comes back in EC dollars. The airport has a currency exchange counter and ATMs, and cards are accepted at most hotels and larger restaurants.

St. Kitts and Nevis is on Atlantic Standard Time, UTC-4, all year, with no daylight saving time. That matches Eastern Daylight Time in the US summer and is one hour ahead of New York in winter. Flight times shown on your ticket for arrival in St. Kitts are local time.

Cruise ships dock at Port Zante in central Basseterre, about 3 km (2 miles) from the airport. Passengers starting or ending a cruise in St. Kitts travel between the airport and the pier by taxi or pre-booked car, a drive of around 10 minutes. The Basseterre ferry terminal for Nevis is beside the cruise pier.
