Operating hoursAdministration 0800-1600 local (1200-2000 UTC) Mon-Fri. Air traffic services, customs/immigration and handling: sunrise to sunset, with 24-hour prior permission required (PPR) for any operation outside those hours. Runway is unlit with no radar or radio navigation aids, so in practice all landings are daylight VFR only regardless of PPR status.
TerminalsSingle-story terminal on the southeast side of the field doubling as the customs/immigration hall, with an attached two-story control tower and a CIP (Commercially Important People) lounge; paved apron for passenger embarkation.

- 09/27 · 992 m / 3,255 ft · 23 m wide · Asphalt
Runway 09/27 (992 m, STOL, displaced threshold, unlit, no ILS) restricts traffic to propeller aircraft of up to 18 seats (Twin Otter, King Air) — jets are not permitted, so despite Mustique's ultra-exclusive resort profile, private-jet passengers typically land at nearby Canouan Airport (CIW, jet-capable) or connect via Barbados, St Lucia or SVG's Argyle International, then transfer to Mustique by chartered turboprop, helicopter or boat. On-site fuel is disputed: the SVG Ministry of National Security's official airport notice states none is held at the field, while at least one fuel broker advertises arranged Jet A1/Avgas delivery — treat as unconfirmed/PPR-dependent rather than routinely stocked. Passenger throughput is not publicly published for this private-island strip.

SVG Air
AC-U-KWIK lists SVG Air as the FBO/Handler at Mustique (TVSM), offering handling, pilot services, and aircraft services, though SVG Air's own website lists only Bequia, Canouan, Union Island, and Grenada as formal FBO bases and names Mustique only as a nearby island, so a dedicated Mustique ground-handling office is unconfirmed.

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
SVG Air
AC-U-KWIK indicates fuel is available via SVG Air at Mustique, but Mustique Airport accepts only propeller aircraft since jets are not permitted to land, and independent sources describe on-island fuel supply as limited to essentials and subject to change, so availability should be confirmed prior to arrival.

Air Adelphi
Air Adelphi is the Mustique Company's own commercial carrier, founded in 2022, operating a fleet of five DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft on scheduled and charter shuttle flights linking Mustique to St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Barbados, and Martinique (seasonal); as the airport owner's in-house airline it self-handles its own flights at MQS.

Mustique Airways
Mustique Airways has historically flown scheduled and charter Twin Otter service linking Mustique to nearby Grenadine islands, but the Mustique Company's own current travel page now attributes the scheduled Mustique shuttle to Air Adelphi rather than Mustique Airways, while some third-party flight trackers still show Mustique Airways activity at MQS, so current self-handled scheduled service into Mustique specifically is unconfirmed.

Mustique Company
The Mustique Company owns and operates Mustique Airport (TVSM). Landing rights require an advance permit application submitted through the Air Transport Licensing Board via the airport director, with an associated fee; pilots unfamiliar with the field must also complete a check flight with an approved training captain from Mustique Airways or SVG Air before using the aerodrome, and only propeller aircraft up to 18 seats are permitted since jets may not land.

Mustique Airways
Mustique Airways is one of two locally approved providers, alongside SVG Air, of the mandatory check flight required for pilots unfamiliar with Mustique Airport before they may use the aerodrome. Its primary base is Argyle International Airport, St. Vincent; Business Air News lists an additional handler location at Bequia's J.F. Mitchell Airport but does not list a dedicated ground-handling base at Mustique Airport itself.
