Private Aviation
Providenciales has two fixed-base operators catering to those arriving by private plane. Grand Turk is classed as an international airport and does allow private aviation traffic, but for all other airports in the Turks and Caicos, you’ll need to clear customs and immigration first in Providenciales (or Grand Turk) before continuing on.
