About Hewanorra International Airport
Hewanorra International Airport is Saint Lucia's main international airport, serving the island from its southern tip near Vieux Fort. Established in 1941 as Beane Army Airfield during the Second World War, it was later converted into the civilian airport that now handles most long-haul and international flights to Saint Lucia.
The airport sits about 4 km north of Vieux Fort and roughly 56 km south of Castries, the capital. It operates a single passenger terminal and one east-west runway, with services concentrated in one building for check-in, departures, arrivals, and ground transportation.
Travelers can reach the capital and resort areas by taxi, shuttle, public bus, or rental car, with the drive to Castries typically taking around one hour. The East Coast Road and West Coast Road provide access to destinations across the island, and helicopter transfers are also available during daylight hours.
Passenger facilities include restaurants, cafés, duty-free shopping, banking, medical services, and accessibility support, making the airport a practical starting point for exploring Saint Lucia's beaches, resorts, and attractions.
