St. Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority

Before 1993, the airport and seaport operated as two separate entities, the seaport under the name of the St. Christopher & Nevis Ports Authority and the Airport under the name of the Golden Rock Airport. The business of the seaport was conducted at the Basseterre Deep Water Harbour/Cargo port (Bird Rock), constructed in 1980, and its Administrative Offices located on the Bay Road. A Transit Shed for receipt and storage of cargo was built at the Basseterre Cargo Port in 1985, while a new Administrative Building followed in 1990. In 1993, the St. Christopher Air & Sea Ports Authority was established, with control over both the Golden Rock Airport and Basseterre Cargo Port.
