✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND/TGPY) is Grenada's main international gateway, located on the Point Salines peninsula about 5 km southwest of St. George's. Opened in 1984 and renamed in 2009 for former Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, it offers direct flights to North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Its coastal setting means many arrivals get sweeping views of Grenada's southwest coast and Grand Anse Beach.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know GND's small terminal can bottleneck when several international flights depart close together; arrive at least 3 hours before long-haul departures and use the outdoor seating near the entrance if the check-in hall is crowded.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are readily available outside arrivals and charge fixed or metered rates to St. George's, Grand Anse, and other areas; confirm the fare before departing. Rental cars can be booked in advance, but driving is on the left. Many hotels offer shuttle or arranged transfers, especially in the Grand Anse and St. George's areas.
