Toussaint Louverture International Airport (French: Aéroport International Toussaint Louverture) (IATA: PAP, ICAO: MTPP) is an international airport located in Tabarre, a commune of Port-au-Prince in Haiti. The airport is currently the busiest in Haiti.
The main building of the airport works as the International Terminal. It consists of a two-story concrete and glass structure. Lounges and a few retail stores are located on the second floor of the main building. Check-in counters, gates and immigration facilities are on the lower floor. The Guy Malary Terminal (named after former Haitian Justice Minister Guy Malary) is used for domestic flights. There are further buildings used for general aviation and cargo flights. The airport has 3 jet bridges, but most passengers walk onto aircraft from mobile stairs. The ramp area can handle 12 planes.
The airport is to be re-designed completely by the year 2015. The re-making of the airport is to add 14 gates to the terminal and also the re-making will make the main passenger terminal bigger. As of June 15, 2016, a taxiway is under construction to increase traffic capacity as taxiing aircraft currently must use the active runway to taxi to their takeoff position. Work is being performed by China National Automation Control System Corporation which has multiple large construction contracts with the Haitian government.
The airport can be accessed by car (with parking space next to the terminal building) or by National Bus Route 1.
As of July 2011, Toussaint Louverture serves as operating hub for scheduled domestic airlines Salsa d'Haiti and Tortug' Air. Additionally, the charter airline Sunrise Airways is based out of the Port-au-Prince airport. It also serves as a hub for the brand new Haitian airline, Haiti Aviation.
