## Description

Just 1,416 metres of runway define the operational ceiling at Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS), the principal gateway to the British Virgin Islands on Beef Island. That length limits scheduled traffic to turboprops and small regional jets, so the airfield handles no mainline freighters. Air cargo bound for the BVI is therefore consolidated at San Juan (SJU) in Puerto Rico and flown in on feeder services, while heavier goods reach Tortola by sea through Port Purcell in Road Town. A short causeway, the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, ties the airport to Tortola and its harbour. For forwarders, EIS is a passenger and light-shipment point rather than a cargo station.
