Virgin Gorda Airport — Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands

VIJ identifies Virgin Gorda Airport, a small airstrip on Virgin Gorda island in the British Virgin Islands, a popular Caribbean sailing and yachting destination. The airport primarily accommodates small propeller aircraft operated by regional carriers connecting Virgin Gorda to Tortola and other nearby islands, given its short single runway. Tourism drives most traffic through VIJ, as visitors seek access to the island's renowned beaches, including The Baths, a famous formation of giant granite boulders. Given limited runway length, VIJ cannot accommodate larger jets, so many international travelers arrive via San Juan or Tortola before connecting onward by small aircraft or ferry. The airport remains essential infrastructure for this compact but tourism-dependent Caribbean island.
