## Description

Around 267,000 pounds of cargo move through Vance W. Amory International each year — modest volumes carried almost entirely in the holds of passenger flights. Set near Charlestown on Nevis, the smaller island of the federation, the airport is served by Cape Air and Winair on regional links to Antigua, St. Maarten and San Juan. Its 1,220-metre runway limits operations to turboprops and light aircraft, so heavier shipments for Nevis route through neighbouring St. Kitts or the San Juan hub in Puerto Rico. The Nevis Air and Sea Ports Authority (NASPA) runs the field and has proposed a dedicated cargo building as part of a wider expansion. Customs and import formalities fall to the St. Kitts and Nevis Customs Department.
