Airport in Barbados
Grantley Adams International Airport
(GAIA) (
IATA
:
BGI
,
ICAO
:
TBPB
) is an
international airport
at Seawell,
Christ Church
,
Barbados
, serving as the country's only
port of entry
by air.
The airport is the only designated port of entry for persons arriving and departing by air in Barbados and operates as one of the major gateways to the
Eastern Caribbean
. It has direct service to destinations in the
United States
,
Canada
,
Central America
and
Europe
. In 2016, the airport was the
eighth-busiest airport
in the Caribbean region and the third-busiest airport in the
Lesser Antilles
after
Queen Beatrix International Airport
on
Aruba
and
Pointe-a-Pitre International Airport
on
Guadeloupe
. GAIA also remains an important air-link for
cruise ship
passengers departing and arriving at the
Port of Bridgetown
,
[6]
and a base of operations for the
Regional Security System
(RSS), and the Regional (Caribbean) Police Training Centre.
The airport's former name was
Seawell Airport
before being dedicated posthumously in honour of the first
Premier of Barbados
, Sir
Grantley Herbert Adams
in 1976. The airport is in the
Atlantic time zone
(UTC?4:00)
[7]
and is in World Area Code region No. 246 (by the
US Department of Transportation
). It was a hub for now-defunct Barbadian carriers
Caribbean Airways
[8]
(not to be confused with the currently-as of 2024-operating
Caribbean Airlines
) and
REDjet
, the home for the charter carrier West Indies Executive Air, and former home to the flight training school Coconut Airways.
Overview and geography
[
edit
]
Grantley Adams International Airport lies 12.9 km (8.0 mi) from the
centre
of the capital city
Bridgetown
, in an area officially known as Seawell. This is contrary to most information services stating the airport as being inside the capital. Grantley Adams Airport is the main air transportation hub for the
Eastern Caribbean
.
The terrain is relatively flat and quite suburban. The airport lies in the south-eastern portion of parish of
Christ Church
, close to the southern tip of the island. The airport has easy access to the
ABC Highway
/highway 7 heading towards the capital and locations to the north and west coast.
The airport has undergone a multi-phase US$100 million upgrade and expansion by the
government
, which added a new arrivals hall adjacent to the prior arrivals/departures terminals. Construction was made slightly more complicated because the airport has to remain open for up to 16 hours per day. Its current infrastructure is supposed to meet the needs of Barbados until at least 2015. The phase III construction project, which is yet to be completed will see changes made to the aeroplane parking configuration.

History
[
edit

Early years
[
edit
]
Seawell Airport during the 1960s.
The first recorded flight in to Barbados was in 1929 at today's Rockley Golf Course.
[10]
As far as air transportation at the site of present-day facility, then known as Seawell Airport, history goes back as far as September 1938 when a mail plane from
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
landed on the site from Trinidad.
[11]
At the time there was merely a grassy strip as the runway. The strip was paved some time later and in 1949 the first terminal was built on the site, to replace a shed that was being used. This ushered in the facility being formally known as the Seawell Airport due to the plantation.

During the 1960s the eastern flight-range just south-east of the airport became known as Paragon. This area became the initial base of a 'High Altitude Research Project' known as
Project HARP
. Project HARP was jointly sponsored by
McGill University
in Canada and the
United States military
.
[12]
In mid-October, 1983, the civilian international airport became the scene of intense military activity. Then Prime Minister
Tom Adams
, the son of the airport's eponym, offered use of the facility to the U.S. military as a forward staging and support area for the diverse American aircraft which were deployed from the mainland in
Operation Urgent Fury
.
[13]
The airport also became a press center for more than 300 international journalist who had been dispatched by their organizations to report on the surprise multi-national intervention into the neighbouring island of Grenada. The younger Adams played a key leadership role in gathering support among English-speaking Caribbean nations for the operation to restore democracy and the rule of law on Grenada after an internal leadership dispute degraded into political assassination and civilian bloodshed.
[13]
Also in 1983, the US-sponsored
invasion of Grenada
prompted the United States to form another agreement with Barbados. As part of the deal, the US expanded a part of the current airport infrastructure. This prepared Grantley Adams Airport to be used as a base.
[14]
As part of the plan to maintain for lasting stability in Grenada, the United States assisted in the establishment of the
Regional Security System
(RSS) at the eastern Grantley Adams flight-range. The RSS was (and still is) a security unit focused on providing security for the
Eastern Caribbean
.
Grantley Adams International Airport, as it is known today, handles most large aircraft including
Boeing 747s
. The airport was one of a handful of destinations where
British Airways
'
Concorde
aircraft made regularly scheduled flights (and got repairs). The flight time of Concorde from the United Kingdom to Barbados was less than 4 hours.
[15]
The first Concorde visit to Barbados was in 1977 for the Queen's
Silver Jubilee
. During the 1980s, Concorde returned for commercial flights to Barbados and thereafter flew to Barbados during the busy winter season. On 17 October 2011, ZA006, a
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
arrived at BGI for testing. This was followed by a 24 October arrival of the
Boeing 747-8
for further high humidity environment testing.
2000?2006 Expansion project
[
edit
]
The renovated terminal.
Since Grantley Adams International Airport had become a relatively busy airport for such a small island and based on an expected increase in future air traffic
[16]
the
Government of Barbados
commenced a US$100 million programme to revamp the airport's infrastructure.
[17]
[18]
Phase I, which is now complete, saw an upgrading of the runways, taxiways, parking aprons, and approach lighting. This phase included the Government of Barbados acquiring private land adjacent to the landing strip to bring the airport into compliance with new international aviation regulations.
[17]
[18]
Phase II (also complete) included adding a new arrivals terminal adjacent to the current building; moving arrivals from the older terminal, renovating the older terminal as a departures facility, and bringing the infrastructure into the new millennium.
[17]
[18]
Expansion after 2006
[
edit
]
On 1 June 2007, the Bds$1.7 million Club Caribbean Executive Lounge and Business Centre
[19]
was opened as an added amenity for business travelers. The centre contains 5,000 sq ft (460 m
2
) and is on the
mezzanine
level.
[20]
The centre is meant to be used by special customers of several airlines at the terminal.
[21]
The Phase III expansion had to wait until the completion of the
2007 Cricket World Cup
. It envisions the addition of new airport terminal
Jetway
(gates), new spacious departure lounges much closer to the aeroplanes and air bridges to make connections much easier. Also nearing completion is the expanded duty-free shopping area and restaurants for travelers. In 2010 airport authorities stated that traffic to the airport was up 58%
[22]
and that a 20-25-year plan
[23]
was being formed for the facility including an addition to the taxiway and renovation of the cargo facilities up to international standards.
After the expansion project, the airport's arrivals facility was moved to a separate new 70,000-square-foot (6,500 m
2
) building adjacent to the previous structure. This allowed the departures area to occupy much of the previous shared structure. The new arrivals terminal was built with five large
baggage carousels
, along with customs and immigration windows.
Facilities
[

Both arrivals and departures terminals
Check-in hall
Terminals
[
edit
]
Grantley Adams International Airport has two terminal buildings designed to appear as one single continuous structure.
The first structure and oldest is the current departures terminal. This terminal stretches from gates 11?13. Before the 2000?2006 expansion project, the original single terminal building housed both the arrivals and departures facilities. The former layout was divided in two with a few duty-free shops
[24]
and an open-air area in the middle with trees and other greenery which was open to both halves of the terminal. The new
translucent membrane
that towers over the airport shows where the old terminal was split in two. Additionally the membrane tent covers the gap between the old and new terminal and gives the appearance of being a single long building.
The new terminal spans gates 1?10. The terminal currently has 23 ground-level gates.
[25]
Runway and taxiways
[
edit
]
The airport is at an elevation of 52 metres (171 ft) above
mean sea level
.
[6]
[7]
It has a single two-mile
asphalt
paved
runway
: 09/27 measuring 11,017 by 148 feet (3,358 m × 45 m).
[4]
The airport has a single east-westerly runway, connected by six taxiway intersections with the aircraft parking area which is adjacent to the main terminals. As a result of the
tradewinds
that blow from the Atlantic Ocean across Barbados from the east, planes usually land and take-off in an easterly direction. This results in a typical flight path for arriving aircraft along the west coast of Barbados, while departing flights usually fly along the east coast. During some weather disturbances, such as passing hurricanes or tropical systems, planes may take off or land in a westerly direction such as on 29 August 2010.
[26]
Navigation
[
edit
]
TBPB is equipped with
VOR
/
DME
[27]
and an
ILS
system. The airport operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Incidents and accidents
[
edit
]
- On 6 October 1976,
Cubana Flight 455
was bombed and crashed off the coast of Barbados
[1]
in a terrorist attack by suspected
CIA
operatives
[58]
shortly after the plane took off from Barbados. The plane had landed in Barbados and was en route to Havana, Cuba by Kingston, Jamaica. Persons linked to the attack and said to be hired by
Luis Posada Carriles
had de-planed in Barbados and made plans to fly out of the country a short time later on an alternate flight.
[59]
[60]
- On 21 March 1981 a
Caribbean Airways
McDonnell-Douglas DC-10-30 operating a scheduled service from Barbados to
London Gatwick
suffered tyreburst on takeoff from GAIA, as a result of hitting an uneven patch on the runway. This caused most overhead lockers to open. Rather than returning to Barbados, the flight deck crew decided to continue to London Gatwick. Due to the flight's early arrival over the UK, ATC instructed the flight deck crew to
hold
for 25 minutes, following which the aircraft landed safely at Gatwick. There were no injuries among the 340 passengers. According to an airline spokesman, the hot rubber from the burst tyres had caused wiring short-circuits. These in turn had affected some flightdeck instruments.
[61]
- In 2010, during the heightened traffic frequency of the tourist season (November through April), a number of chartered airlines and regularly scheduled carriers reported a series of '
bird strikes
' on takeoff. These were not serious enough to cause any damage to the aircraft and they continued on to their destinations. After brief investigations, the 'birds' turned out to be small
Vesper bats
, native to Barbados.
[

- On 7 January 2018 a
JetBlue
Airbus A320
operating flight B6-25 from
Boston Logan Airport
was descending into Barbados when the crew declared an emergency reporting a fire on board. The aircraft landed safely and Runway 09 was subsequently closed temporarily.
Emergency services
checked the aircraft, gave their all clear and the aircraft taxied normally to the gate.

"Our thrust is to take the number of cruise passengers from 700,000 to 1.2 million per year. A significant percentage of these will be part of the Air/Sea and Stay/Cruise programs. Existing facilities at GAIA are already stressed to handle passenger volumes during the 12 to 4 pm period. The new focus of developing the air/sea program will necessitate a suitable review of the airport plant and no doubt this will be addressed in by the master plan," he said.
