Private Jet Charter from SXM
Fly private from Princess Juliana International Airport
Princess Juliana International Airport is the primary aviation hub of the northeastern Caribbean, best known for the dramatic low approach aircraft make over Maho Beach on final for runway 10. Its 7,546-foot runway and dedicated air traffic control tower, operational since 2004, give it the capacity to handle long-range charter jets arriving directly from the US East Coast and Europe, alongside the light and midsize jets that make up the bulk of regional traffic.
The airport serves as the main customs and immigration gateway for both the Dutch and French sides of the island, with an established network of FBOs providing fueling, ground handling, and concierge services for private and corporate charter aircraft. Its scale and infrastructure set it apart from the smaller island airstrips found throughout the surrounding Leeward Islands.
For charter travelers, SXM is both a destination in its own right, close to Simpson Bay's marinas and the island's resort and casino district, and the standard connecting hub for onward travel to St. Barth, Anguilla, Saba, and St. Eustatius via turboprop or short-hop charter aircraft.
