Princess Juliana International Airport
Princess Juliana International Airport also known as Sint Maarten International Airport serves the Dutch part of the island of Saint Martin.
All major US airlines as well as Paris-based charter carrier Corsairfly are operated from here.
This international airport is right next to Maho beach, causing the planes to land right overhead of tourists. The length of the runway is just 7,152 feet. The distance is perfectly fine for small or medium-size jets but as the second-busiest airport in the Eastern Caribbean, it regularly welcomes long-haul wide-body jetliners like Boeing 747's and Airbus A340.
Due to short runway, the giant jets fly over beach just 10-20 meters over the heads of the tourists.
