Airport contact
Douglas-Charles is Dominica's principal international gateway despite its non-hub, single-runway profile, handling the bulk of the island's scheduled air traffic (American Eagle, United Airlines, regional Caribbean carriers) over a mountainous northeast-coast approach that historically limited aircraft size until the September 2024 runway extension to 1,936 m enabled mainline jet service (United 737-700 from Newark, inaugurated February 2025). DASPA does not publicly break out airport-specific enplanement/deplanement counts; the 2024 figure above is Dominica's national stayover visitor arrivals (WIC News/tourism reporting), the large majority of which transit this airport, not a confirmed airport passenger-movement total.
