Tobago airport ‘fully operational’ by March 2026

The ANR Robinson International Airport in Tobago is on track to become fully operational by March 2026, as announced by Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo during the 2025/2026 national budget presentation. The airport, which underwent a comprehensive redevelopment and expansion project initiated in 2019, reached substantial completion in February 2025. The ‘practical opening’ of the terminal, marking the end of the construction phase, was overseen by former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley. However, operational readiness, including staff training and system testing, remains underway. Minister Tancoo emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring the airport’s full operationalization by the second quarter of fiscal 2026, moving beyond the ‘practical opening’ phase. This development is expected to bolster Tobago’s tourism sector and establish Trinidad and Tobago as a key regional air hub.
