## Description

SVG Air, Mustique Airways and interCaribbean operate most scheduled movements at Canouan Airport (IATA: CIW, ICAO: TVSC), linking this Grenadine resort island with Argyle (SVD) on St Vincent and Barbados (BGI). A land-reclamation project completed in 2008 lengthened the runway to about 5,875 ft (1,790 m), which is why business jets bound for the island's high-end hotels account for a large share of traffic. There is no cargo terminal, no scheduled freighter service and no customs office for commercial consignments; air freight is confined to belly loads such as mail, courier parcels, spare parts and perishables for the resorts. Construction materials, fuel and consumer goods arrive by sea from Kingstown and Trinidad. Exports and dutiable imports are handled at Argyle International (SVD), with Grantley Adams International in Barbados (BGI) as the larger alternative offering intercontinental connections. The government has announced runway and terminal upgrades for Canouan alongside Union Island and Bequia.
