On August 21, 2022 the Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA) suspended flight operations at the Hewanorra International Airport (HIA) to undertake emergency pavement repairs to a small section of the runway.

The suspension was necessary to facilitate a thorough assessment to determine the extent of repairs. Between the hours of 11 p.m. August 21, 2022 and 1:30 a.m. August 22, 2022, the Authority’s airport engineering team successfully completed the repair works.

Flight operations will resume at midday on August 22, 2022. Passengers should contact their respective airlines directly for updates.
