Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands

Cyril E. King Airport is the primary commercial airport serving the U.S. Virgin Islands, located on the western tip of St. Thomas island near Charlotte Amalie. It handles the majority of air traffic for the territory, connecting the islands to major U.S. mainland cities and other Caribbean destinations. The airport is named after Cyril Emmanuel King, who served as the second elected Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
