About Airports: SXM / TNCM

This group is intended as a repository for photos from one of the most spectacular airports in the world: Princess Juliana Airport St. Maarten!

St. Maarten (or Sint Maarten, Saint Martin) is a tropical island in the northern part of the Caribbean - the island is part of the Netherlands Antilles and is located around 300km east of Puerto Rico. The island is divided into a French and a Dutch part.

Princess Juliana Airport has a single runway of around 2,400 metres which is capable of handling large jets up to the Boeing 747. Approaching aircraft have to come in really low to use the runway completely. That makes them cross Maho Beach in no more than 10 - 15 metres height. Departing aircraft cause a severe sandstorm that attracts spotters from everywhere in the world. There are some spectacular videos at Youtube - have a look for them!
