Location
Beef Island, British Virgin Islands
Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport is the principal airport serving the British Virgin Islands, located on Beef Island, which is connected to the main island of Tortola by the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. The airport is named after Terrance Brannaker Lettsome, a prominent local political figure. It handles the majority of air traffic entering and departing the territory. The airport serves primarily regional routes, connecting the British Virgin Islands to nearby Caribbean hubs such as San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas, USVI, from which travelers can make onward international connections. Its relatively short runway limits operations to turboprop and small regional jet aircraft. In recent years, the airport has undergone improvements to its terminal and infrastructure, partly in response to damage sustained during Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused widespread destruction across the British Virgin Islands.
