Dominica does not have an international jet airport so overseas flights connect to Dominica's international airport using smaller turboprop aircraft. There are direct flights to and from Dominica from the jet airports at San Juan, Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Lucia and the French islands, with onward connections to North America and Europe. A proposed site for a new international jet airport has been identified and development work is underway.
