Taxis are the most common form of transportation from Lauriston Airport (CRU). Drivers typically meet all arriving flights. It is a small airport, so taxis are easily found just outside the terminal. It's recommended to confirm the fare to your destination before starting your trip.
Several local companies offer car and jeep rentals on Carriacou. Vehicles can be pre-booked and arranged for pickup at the airport. Due to the island's limited fleet, booking in advance is highly advisable, especially during peak season. A temporary local driving permit is required, which the rental agency can usually help you obtain.
Public transport consists of privately-owned minibuses that operate on set routes around the island, connecting the main town of Hillsborough with other villages. There is no formal bus stop at the airport terminal itself; you would need to walk to the main road to flag one down. This option is inexpensive but may be inconvenient with luggage and does not run on a fixed schedule.
Carriacou est une île magnifique avec une piste courte et étroite de 800m de long.
Je vous conseille de ne pas y atterrir trop chargé (ne pas atteindre la MTOW) car au décollage vous devrez éviter les arbres qui entourent la piste et une colline dans l'axe de piste en faisant un virage à gauche dès que possible.
A l'atterrissage faites attention dans la baie oĂą vous serez en finale, il peut y avoir des bateaux qui mouillent dans l'axe.
Ils n'ont pas d'AVGAS 100LL donc prévoyez assez de fuel pour revenir à l'aérodrome de départ.
Sinon vous avez TVSA qui a du 100LL si besoin.
Prenez soin de vous et bons vols !
ENGLISH :
Carriacou is a beautiful island with a short and narrow 800m long runway.
I advise you not to land there too loaded (do not reach the MTOW) because on take-off you will have to avoid the trees that surround the runway and a hill in the axis of the runway by making a left turn as soon as possible.
When landing, be careful in the bay where you will be on final, there may be boats anchoring in the axis.
They do not have AVGAS 100LL so take enough fuel to return to the departure aerodrome.
Otherwise you have TVSA (St Vincent) which has 100LL if necessary.
Take care of yourself and safe flights
