Arrival airport
If you are flying private to St Maarten from the United States, Canada, Europe or another long-distance route, your arrival will most likely be at Princess Juliana International Airport, known as SXM.
Located on the Dutch side of the island, SXM is the main international airport for St Maarten and the usual arrival point for private jets. From there, you can easily reach Simpson Bay, Cupecoy, Terres Basses, Grand Case, Orient Bay and the French side of Saint Martin.
St Martin also has a smaller airport on the French side, Grand Case Airport, mostly used for regional Caribbean flights and smaller aircraft. For most travelers flying private to the island, however, Princess Juliana Airport remains the natural arrival point.
Common routes
Many private jet requests to St Maarten come from the East Coast of the United States, Florida, or other Caribbean hubs.
Miami and Fort Lauderdale are common departure points for private routes to SXM.
New York, Teterboro, Boston and Washington DC are frequent origins for villa and winter-season travelers.
San Juan and other regional airports can make sense for inter-island routing or shorter private legs.
The aircraft that makes sense will depend on your departure point, number of passengers, luggage, route, and whether you want to fly nonstop.
Private jet pricing changes with aircraft availability, routing, repositioning, seasonality, airport fees and timing. Instead of relying on generic examples, request a live quote for your exact route.
Island hopping
SXM is not just an airport for St Martin. It is a gateway to some of the most desirable islands in the Caribbean.
From St Maarten, you can continue by private aircraft to St Barths, Anguilla, Saba, St Kitts, Nevis, Antigua and other nearby Caribbean islands depending on the route.
For travelers who want to combine St Martin with St Barths or Anguilla, this can be a much smoother way to travel.
