Airport contact
Union Island is the principal air gateway to the southern Grenadines' resort and yachting hub (Tobago Cays, Palm Island, Petit St Vincent) and, though small, is a genuine designated Airport of Entry with customs/immigration handling scheduled and charter flights to Barbados, Grenada, St Lucia and Martinique. The short 752 m runway and steep, terrain-constrained approach restrict operations to STOL turboprops under daylight VFR; no fuel is available on site (nearest at Canouan), and no official annual passenger totals are published, though peak-season traffic has been cited around 350 passengers and 70 movements per day.

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
SVG Air
Third-party trip-support/fuel-broker sites (1FLT, JetMate Aviation) claim Jet A1/Avgas can be arranged at Union Island, but Wikipedia and JetMate's own airport listing state aviation fuel is not stocked on-site and must be sourced at nearby Canouan Airport; SVG Air's own Union Island service listing does not include fuel among its offerings, so no verified on-site fuel seller is confirmed.
