Toussaint Louverture International Airport (French: Aeroport International Toussaint Louverture) (IATA: PAP, ICAO: MTPP) is an international airport located in Tabarre, near Port-au-Prince in Haiti. The airport is currently the busiest in Haiti.
In the 1940s a military and civil airfield, Bowen Field, was established near Baie de Port-au-Prince providing passenger air service by Compagnie Haitienne de Transports Aériens. It served as an airbase for the U.S. military in Haiti in the 1950s and 1960s.
Developed with grant money from the United States Government, the current airport opened in 1965 as Francois Duvalier International Airport, named after then Haitian president Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier. Following the resignation of Duvalier's son and successor Jean Claude Duvalier in 1986, the airport was renamed Port-au-Prince International Airport, before being renamed again as Toussaint Louverture International Airport in 2003, in honour of the Haitian revolutionary leader.
