The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) is currently undergoing negotiations in an effort to start an enlargement and transformation project on the Vance Amory International Airport with private investor, Mr. Patrick Drahi, by way of a Public Private Partnership.

This was announced by Premier of Nevis, Hon. Mark Brantley during his monthly press conference:

The project is said to include: the extension and reinforcing of the runway, creation of additional parking and a fixed-base operator and a hanger. The investor would be financing the construction aspect and upon completion of the project, the NIA through the Nevis Air and Sea Ports Authority (NASPA) will continue to pay and remain responsible for staffing the facility.

The design work according to the Premier is currently being undertaken by Perez Consulting and will form the basis going forward for the necessities of the airport to be a first-class facility. He also said that once the facility is completed, it is meant to compliment what is happening at the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in St. Kitts so that the country would have two facilities, one for the international commercial flights and another for the private jets and other small aircrafts
