Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport (IATA: SKB, ICAO: TKPK) is located just northeast of Basseterre on the island of Saint Kitts, serving the nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. It was named after the first Premier of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla (as it then was), Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw. Currently the airport is under a major expansion. The US$17 million project financed by loans from the St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank and Taiwan, includes expansion of the parking apron to accommodate six-wide-bodied aircraft at the same time, complete resurfacing of the 8,000-foot runway and construction of a new taxi-way. Construction started late 2004 and the project is expected to be completed by November 2006. Currently the airport can only accommodate one and a half wide bodied jets.
