Camden Airstrip
The Camden Airstrip is a small airstrip in Couva, Trinidad. Crop dusting planes use this airstrip; also drag racing takes place on the airstrip.
On May 24, 2011, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, at the one-year anniversary celebratory rally marking the election of her coalition government to power, announced that the Airstrip will be upgraded initially to a domestic airport to serve the Trinidad-Tobago airbridge.[1] If successful, the airport would be upgraded to a full-scale international airport.
If upgraded, the airport will be the third International Airport on the islands after Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and the Arthur Napoleon Raymond Robinson International Airport in Tobago.[2]
Operations
Briko Air Services is based at the field, operating non-passenger charters and training flights out of Camden. National Helicopter Services is also based at Camden, serving many of the offshore oil platforms.
