VIPA: Owners of Abandoned Aircraft Parked at Airports Must Remove Them

The Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) is asking owners of abandoned or damaged aircraft parked at the Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas or Henry E. Rohlsen Airport on St. Croix to have their aircraft removed from the airports immediately.

VIPA is cleaning its airfields and removing unsightly equipment or objects that may be projectiles in the event of a storm. Owners have until July 15 to remove their immobile aircraft. Any planes not claimed will be disassembled, and the metal will be taken to the landfill for disposal.

Aircraft owners may contact Michael Todman, VIPA’s director of aviation operations, at 774-5100 (CEKA) / 778-1012 (HERA) or by email at MTodman@viport.com.
