Member's Home Forums General Discussion Bahamas / Caribbean Caribbean Airports TKPK - Saint Kitts Beware St. Kitts TKPK

If you plan to fly a jet to St. Kitts (TKPK) be advised that the costs have risen significantly.

The airport authority decided to make all private jet users use a new terminal so that passengers do not need to go to the commercial terminal. They even published a NOTAM saying "ALL PASSENGERS ARRIVING OR DEPARTING THE R. L. BRADSHAW AIRPORT ON PRIVATE JETS SHALL BE FACILITATED AT THE NEW PRIVATE JET TERMINAL"

However, be advised that it is NOT free. Each passenger must pay US$ 396 (US$ 198 in and US$ 198 out) for using the terminal. This is in addition to the US$ 47 per person government passenger fee. Handling starts at US$ 700. Be sure to park where you want the aircraft, tug and towbar costs US$ 200. Operators may find these costs significantly higher than what they are accustomed to at other destinations in the Caribbean.

This is one case where it may be better to fly in in a Cessna. They still get to use the main airport terminal......
