History of Aviation in Barbados
For over eight decades Barbados has enjoyed a rich and varied aviation history. Today this country boasts a fully-appointed world-class airport, but aviation in Barbados first took flight in 1929. In actuality, aviation first landed on Good Friday, March 29th in that year when a single-engine Auro Avain from Guadeloupe, piloted by Captain William Lancaster, touched down on the fifth fairway of the Rockley Golf Club in the parish of Christ Church.
A mere ten years later, and only a few weeks shy of that first milestone in Barbados’ aviation history, the first passenger service was inaugurated on 6th February 1939. This passenger service departed from the Seawell International Airport, located almost on the edge of the southern tip of Barbados, in the parish of Christ Church. Five months previously the wheels of Seawell Airport’s first scheduled flight kissed the grassy strip of the airfield. This was a KLM Royal Dutch Airliner, a mail shuttle from neighbouring Trinidad.
