A.N.R. Robinson International Airport is located on the south western end of Tobago and is about 11 km (6.8 mi) from Scarborough. It was opened in 1940 and is a small, informal airport. Tourism is the main employment sector on Tobago, and Crown Point flights therefore carry many tourists in addition to the inter-island traffic.
Plans for the construction of a new terminal at the airport were announced in the 2010-2011 budget presentation by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago. Formally known as Crown Point Airport, the airport was renamed the Arthur Napoleon Raymond Robinson International Airport on May 19, 2011 in honour of the only Prime Minister and President from the island of Tobago.
A.N.R. Robinson International Airport will also be modified and expanded starting February 2004. The project is a part of Vision 2020. The project also includes:
These works will ensure that Trinidad and Tobago maintains United States Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) Category 1 (highest) status.
To date, there have been no serious air incidents at the airport. A number of minor situations have occurred, including:
A.N.R. Robinson International Airport has two terminals.

It serves international cargo flights, general aviation and helicopter flights. It has seven parking positions. The Regional terminal is the main passenger terminal for flights to and from the Caribbean and Trinidad. It handles all the regional commercial and cargo passenger airline traffic. The north terminal has six parking positions.
