Salt Cay Airport


Salt Cay Airport is the public airport serving Salt Cay, the second largest of the Turks Islands in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It closed on 26 June 2017 because of safety concerns with the runway and other infrastructure.

History

On 26 June 2017, Salt Cay Airport's Aerodrome Certificate expired, and the Turks & Caicos Islands Civil Aviation Authority chose not to renew it on the basis of safety issues. For example, the runway was still in need of resurfacing. As a result, Caicos Express Airways, the only airline serving Salt Cay Airport at the time, ended all its flights to the airport on 7 July.
On 18 August 2017 the TCICAA lifted the restriction on Salt Cay airport. On Wednesday 12 June 2019 the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority announced that Salt Cay airport would close for 10 weeks in late July for major upgrades.
