A. N. R. Robinson International Airport (formerly, Crown Point International Airport) (IATA: TAB, ICAO: TTCP) is an international airport located on the island of Tobago in Trinidad and Tobago. It is located in the southwestern most part of the island, near the town of Canaan, and 11 km (6.8 mi) from the capital, Scarborough. It currently serves four weekly flights to the United Kingdom and one seasonal flight to Manchester UK, two to Germany and one to New York–JFK. It is one of two international airports serving the twin isle republic. The other airport is located on the island of Trinidad, Piarco International Airport. In 2011 according to Trinidad Express Tobago have recorded a 60% decrease in tourist arrivals.
The A. N. R. Robinson International Airport is situated on the southwestern tip of the island of Tobago. This airport is located within walking distance of some of several of the island's beaches. The airport was commissioned in December 1940 when the Work Department laid a 670-meter (2,200 ft) landing strip. At that time the airport was christened the Crown Point International Airport and declared as the secondary aerodrome of the twin-island republic Trinidad and Tobago. The facilities at Crown Point were upgraded in the mid-1980s to accommodate a new terminal building, access roads, and extended apron. Further developments were commenced in 1987 and completed in 1992 to accommodate wide-bodied aircraft such as the Boeing 747. Another development program was scheduled to commence in 2011, anticipated to include an extension of the terminal building, runway works and the addition of jet bridges to the structure. On 19 May 2011 the airport in Tobago was renamed after the Tobago-born third Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Arthur Napoleon Raymond Robinson SC Hon. DCL, Hon., better known to the world as A. N. R. Robinson.
