History

The airport is named after François C. Antoine Simon, the 18th President of Haiti (1908–1911). It was financed and built by the Haitian government and inaugurated on 7 May 2005 by then Prime Minister Gérard Latortue.[5] Taiwan financed the construction of the access road to the airport.

On February 1, 2013, Haiti laid the first stone on the expansion of the Antoine-Simon Airport. The Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale plans to make it an international airport by extending the runway to 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) and adding a terminal with customs and other services. Both runway ends have displaced thresholds. The Cayes non-directional beacon (Ident: CAY) is located 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) southeast of the runway.[6]

The project is part of broader efforts to ramp up infrastructure development in Haiti's South department.[7] Haiti officials (Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and Tourism Minister Stephanie Villedrouin) suggested that the airport would open up completely the southern region as the country sees tourism as a promising sector capable of creating thousands of jobs in the region.[8]

Another airport is being built on the neighboring island of Île-à-Vache.
