For all you flying on private planes, you’ll be happy to know that Turks and Caicos is now home to the longest lighted, paved private airstrip in the Caribbean. Located on the island of Ambergris Cay, the airstrip is 5,700 feet long and serves as the ultimate welcome mat for Turks and Caicos Sporting Club members, which is located on the island.
Moreover, it offers members an opportunity that few other destinations can match—the chance to fly directly to their own private Caribbean island. Ambergris Cay Airport accommodates many types of commercial and private aircrafts with an adjacent facility for customs and immigration.
In compliance with United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority regulations, the airport will have a fully equipped firefighting team and an EMS station is currently under construction and will be completed in March.
“This amenity is the top of the top,” says Peter Pollak, Managing Partner, DPS Sporting Club Development. “The addition of the airstrip to the Turks & Caicos Sporting Club stands head and shoulders above any jetstrip that has been built on any private island in the Caribbean.”
Capable of operations 24 hours a day, seven days a week for both international and domestic flights, Ambergris Cay members will have the ultimate in arrival and departure flexibility. The airstrip will normally operate from sunrise to sunset and after sunset by prior arrangement. Along with private aircraft access, the Airport will continue to serve Club flights to/from the nearby island of Providenciales (Provo).
“For our clients, their most valuable asset is time,” says Patrick Worsham, Managing Director DPS Club Management “Building a private airstrip gives them the ability to get here easily and begin enjoying themselves the moment they touch the ground.”
