About Virgin Islands Port Authority
The Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) is an autonomous agency that owns and manages the two airports and the majority of the public seaports in the United States Virgin Islands. We are also charged with maintaining the harbors in the territory. The law stipulates that VIPA must make its properties available to the public so that the populace may reap the benefits of these facilities.
VIPA derives its operating revenues from user fees and rental fees charges to users of its airport and marine facilities on St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. The agency is expected to be financially self-sufficient, and does not receive nor does it contribute any funds to the USVI government. Federal and state government grants are given to the Authority to support its capital construction programs - provided that VIPA meets all eligibility requirements. The federal government also offers Passenger Facility Charges (PFC's) to fund airport projects only. These airport related improvements must be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
