Piarco International Airport (POS)

Piarco International Airport (POS) is the primary aviation hub for Trinidad and Tobago and one of the busiest facilities in the Caribbean, located approximately 17 miles (27 km) east of Port of Spain. The airport operates through a modern North Terminal featuring a striking glass-domed atrium, which serves as the central hub for all commercial passenger flights, while the South Terminal primarily handles cargo and executive aviation. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting the twin-island republic to major international hubs in North America and Europe via its home carrier, Caribbean Airlines. The terminal infrastructure provides a wide range of essential amenities across its two levels, including an internal food court in the landside atrium featuring global chains like KFC and Rituals Coffee House, alongside an outdoor covered area serving authentic local cuisine. Travelers have access to premium spaces like the VIP Flyers’ Club and the dedicated Caribbean Airlines Club Lounge, alongside an extensive duty-free hall selling luxury goods and regional spirits. The facility is fully accessible and offers free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building, featuring modernized security screening points and on-site banking services provided by First Citizens. Ground transportation at POS is well-supported by the official Airport Taxi Driver’s Co-operative located directly outside the arrivals exit, which offers fixed-fare services to Port of Spain and major hotel districts. Regular PTSC bus services also provide an affordable link to the city's main transit center, while several major car rental agencies maintain desks within the terminal for those exploring the island's scenic northern coast. Travelers are strongly encouraged to arrive at least 3 hours before international departures and are advised to utilize authorized transport services to ensure a professional and secure transition to their final destination.
