LIAT V.C. Bird (TAPA) Antigua to Robert Bradshaw (TKPK) St. Kitts West Indies


Recommended Posts

A LIAT (Leeward Islands Air Transport) ATR 72 makes a short 54 mile 20 minute commuter flight from V.C. Bird International Airport (TAPA) on Antigua to Robert Bradshaw International Airport (TKPK) on the neighboring West Indies island of St. Kitts on a sunny Caribbean day.

Takeoff and climb out to our 5000 foot cruise altitude over the turquois waters around Antigua for the short flight over to St. Kitts.

Our destination of St. Kitts is in sight up ahead and to the right. The neighboring island of Nevis is visible to the left.

Descending over the southern end of St. Kitts, turning final, and crossing the waves breaking on the Atlantic eastern shore of the island. The waves and surf on beaches on the eastern side of West Indies islands facing the Atlantic tend to be much rougher than on the western sides facing the calmer Caribbean. Something to keep in mind when booking beach front vacation hotels. :D

Turning off the active, taxi to parking, and shutdown. Welcome to St. Kitts!
