## Description

FedEx, DHL and UPS all keep a presence at Robert L. Bradshaw International, the gateway airport for St. Kitts a few kilometres northeast of Basseterre. Run by the Saint Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA), the airport pairs a 2,317-metre runway — long enough for a Boeing 747 — with an apron that holds six wide-body aircraft at once. Dedicated freighter operator Air Cargo Carriers serves the field, while scheduled carriers such as American, British Airways, Delta and United add belly capacity on routes to North America and Europe. Customs clearance runs through the St. Kitts and Nevis Customs and Excise Department, and heavier regional freight is typically consolidated through the FedEx Caribbean operation at San Juan. Though tourism drives most traffic, the airport reliably handles the inbound goods that supply the island's retail and hotel sectors.
