The Turks And Caicos Islands, Bahamas, North Atlantic Ocean

- 2011. The Providenciales airport is currently undergoing expansion of the runway that will soon allow larger aircraft, namely 777's, 747's A330's, A340's and 787's to land. Currently the runway is unable to accommodate larger widebody aircraft. When complete, it is expected that additional airlift to European, Asian and North American destinations could open up.
The islands have 121 kilometres of highway, 24 km paved and 97 km unpaved. Like the United States Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands drive on the left (making the steering wheel on the outside on the left), but use left-hand-drive vehicles that are imported from the Continental United States, Europe, and elsewhere.
The territory's main international ports and harbours are on Grand Turk and Providenciales.
The islands have no significant railways. In the early twentieth century East Caicos operated a horse-drawn railway to transport Sisal from the plantation to the port. The 14 km route was removed after sisal trading ceased.
