Pearls Airport
[include1/730x20.htm]
Pearls Airport (ICAO: TGPG) was an airport in Grenada, located at
the North Eastern Corner of the island, 19 miles (31 km)
north-east of the main town and capital St. George's.
It was the country's first airport, opened in 1943 and was under
the management of the Grenada Airports Authority.
In 1984, the airport was replaced as Grenada's main airport by the
Point Salines International Airport, now called
Maurice Bishop International
Airport. It is now a construction site and go-kart track.
There is a derelict Cubana airliner still in position by the
runway.
