Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago ‘The Authority’ is a statutory body established by the Airports Authority Act, No. 49 of 1979. It falls under the portfolio of the Ministry of Transport.
The islands’ two international airports are managed and operated by the Authority; they are Piarco International Airport, Trinidad and A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, Tobago.
The primary objective of the Authority is to develop and manage its airport estates, focusing on customer satisfaction while providing safe, secure and efficient aviation services.
The Authority administers the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Regional Aviation Security Training Centre for airports located in the Caribbean and Central and North America.
