Saint Lucia's long-haul gateway in the south of the island
Hewanorra International sits at the southern tip of Saint Lucia near Vieux Fort, about 65 km south of the capital Castries and the main resort area. The long runway accommodates widebodies, so British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American, Delta, JetBlue, United and Air Canada Rouge all run year-round or seasonal long-haul service. The smaller George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU) near Castries handles regional turboprops only.
