The final approach into St. Barth's Airport

The Experience

You fly in over those gorgeous turquoise waters and then over that well-documented hill. You have arrived. St. Barth’s oh-so-short runway has achieved a certain notoriety over the years but that’s part of the fun. Close your eyes for the landing if you’re a scaredy cat but if you at least take a peak we promise it will be a collectible travel experience; exciting, fun - and very safe. The 19-seater STOL (short take off and landing) is the largest plane that lands here and is one of the reasons this beautiful island remains unspoiled. Say bonjour to the folks on St. Jean Beach as you step off the plane.

International Air

St. Maarten’s Juliana Airport (SXM) is the principal gateway to St. Barth. Several airlines offer direct and connecting service to St. Maarten including JetBlue, American Airlines, Continental, US Airways, Delta, and a variety of charter companies from various areas of the country. JetBlue also offers service from San Juan to Juliana. (See below regarding direct flights from San Juan to St. Barth.)
