Pearls Airport (ICAO: TGPG[1]) was Grenada's first airport. It is currently under the management of the Grenada Airports Authority. The airport is not in daily operation.[2] In 1984 it was replaced as Grenada's main airport by the Point Salines International Airport. It is now a construction site and go-kart track. There is a derelict Cuba airliner still in position by the runway.[3]
