About Virgin Gorda Airport

Virgin Gorda Airport, designated by IATA code VIJ and ICAO code TUPW, is a small regional aerodrome operated under the authority of the British Virgin Islands government, situated on the southern portion of Virgin Gorda in the British Overseas Territory of the British Virgin Islands. The airport’s single runway of approximately 1,097 metres limits operations to turboprops, light piston aircraft, and small light jets, making aircraft selection critical for those flying privately. Customs and immigration formalities are handled directly at the airport, with BVI authorities processing private arrivals in a straightforward, efficient manner. The terminal is modest but functional, befitting an island where the focus is firmly on the natural environment beyond its boundaries. Its position just moments from Spanish Town means transfer times to waterfront resorts and villa estates are minimal.
