Príncipe Airport (IATA: PCP, ICAO: FPPR) is an airport on the island of Príncipe,[1] located 3 kilometres (2 mi) north of Santo António, the island's capital.
In 2012, the Portuguese construction firm Mota-Engil was hired to modernize the airport.
The main focus was lengthening the runway to allow it to accommodate mid-size jets.
[5] Although regional President José Cardoso Cassandra originally announced the work would be completed in 17 months, it was not finished until October 2015.
The renovations were funded by a $18 million investment by a South African firm, which also involved the construction of a five-star eco-tourism hotel on the island.
