Airport contact
Opened 14 Feb 2017 to replace the old E.T. Joshua Airport, Argyle is St Vincent & the Grenadines' first and only international airport and the country's sole national gateway. Despite the size implied by 'International', it remains a single-runway, regional-tier field — but it genuinely carries customs/immigration and hosts nonstop widebody-capable service from North America (American, Air Canada, Delta) plus Caribbean Airlines regional links and periodic UK charters; mountainous terrain restricts instrument approaches to RNAV(GNSS)/NDB rather than ILS.
