By Air

The Turks and Caicos Islands currently have 2 full service international airports,  Providenciales and Grand Turk, and limited entry facilities in North and South Caicos.  All other islands have domestic airports except for East and West Caicos, which are uninhabited (an airstrip is currently under construction on West Caicos to serve the Ritz Carlton resort being developed there).

Provo Airport:
Airport Code: PLS
Latitude: N 21°15' .6
Longitude: W 72°46'.7
(17° MBPV PLS N21 46.4 WO72 16.0 F-4, Jet A-1. 1100 - 2300)

Most visitors fly into Providenciales upon entry to the islands and then can easily take a commuter flight to the other islands. It is a modern, full service facility that welcomes dozens of international flights every week from North America, Europe and other Caribbean Islands. It is also the gateway to the rest of the Turks & Caicos Islands. Check the airport web site for up to date flight schedules and route maps.

Vistors from the US are reminded that effective Janaury 8, 2007, all US citizens visiting the Caribbean must be in possession of a valid US passport.

All visitors arriving via international flights and connecting to any of our other islands through Providenciales must first clear immigration and customs and claim baggage at PLS before making the connection through the domestic departure area at the Provo Airport.
