The Grantley Adams International Airport
Located about 30 minutes from Bridgetown, the Grantley Adams International Airport plays an important role as a vital center and link for international air traffic in the Eastern Caribbean. The main passenger terminal handles in excess of 2 million passengers each year and has recently been upgraded to accommodate increases in traffic.

All visitors to Barbados now require a valid passport and onward or return tickets. All arriving visitors must fill in an Immigration form stating where they will be staying during their time in Barbados — it is advisable to have this information handy to avoid unnecessary delays on arrival.

There is a Barbados Tourism Authority desk in the Arrivals Hall where visitors can seek assistance and get information pertaining to accommodations, transport, tours and other vital information for the holiday-maker or business traveler. There is also a duty-free liquor and tobacco shop where arriving passengers can purchase a wide selection of wines, spirits and cigarettes at particularly good prices.

The landside courtyard is the centerpiece of the departures terminal. The landside restaurant by Chefette, the Banks Bar and the Café Blue Coffee Bar offer passengers a range of meal options and beer and other beverages. Airport users have a number of shops including local arts & crafts, convenience stores and a minimart. Rounding out the service offerings are the Barbados Postal Service and the Barbados National Bank.
