Location

Canefield, Dominica

Canefield Airport (IATA: DCF, ICAO: TDCF) is a small domestic and regional airport located in Canefield, on the western coast of Dominica, near the capital Roseau. It serves as one of two airports on the island, handling lighter aircraft and short regional routes primarily to neighboring Caribbean islands. The airport features a short runway that limits operations to small propeller-driven and turboprop aircraft, making it unsuitable for large commercial jets. It complements Melville Hall Airport (DOM) in the north, which handles larger regional flights. Canefield plays an important role in connecting Dominica's residents and visitors to nearby islands such as Martinique, Guadeloupe, and other Eastern Caribbean destinations, with carriers like Air Antilles and LIAT historically serving the route network.
