A.N.R. Robinson International Airport — Scarborough, Trinidad and Tobago

Tobago, the smaller island partner in the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, relies on TAB to connect Scarborough and the island's beach resorts with Trinidad and a modest set of international destinations in North America and Europe. The airport bears the name of A.N.R. Robinson, a Tobago-born statesman who served as both prime minister and later president of the republic during a long political career. Frequent short hops link Tobago to Trinidad's Piarco International Airport, forming a vital connection between the two islands that make up the country, since many residents and much of the government commute between them regularly. Tourism drives much of the airport's international traffic, with visitors drawn to Tobago's coral reefs, rainforest reserves, and quieter pace compared with more heavily developed Caribbean destinations. Charter and scheduled flights from the United Kingdom reflect long historical ties dating back to the era of British colonial rule in the Caribbean.
