Pearls Airport

Pearls Airport (ICAO: TGPG) was Grenada's first airport. It is under the management of the Grenada Airports Authority. The airport is not in daily operation. In October 25 1983, Marines from the 8th Marine Regiment landed nearby by helicopter and captured Pearls Airport during the invasion of Grenada, meeting only light resistance. In 1984 it 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.
