Princess Juliana International Airport, on the Island of Saint Martin


The Princess Juliana International Airport It is considered one of the strangest in the world on its own merits. It is located in the Saint Martin Island, specifically in the Dutch part. It is the third busiest airport in the Caribbean but it does not stand out for precisely that reason.


Thousands of tourists decide to travel to the Island of San Martín every year in order to witness the landing of an airplane a few meters away. Planes pass just above the beach, just 25 meters high regarding the sea. Although the authorities of the Caribbean country warn of the danger if placed just below, nobody pays attention and everyone risks their lives. In addition, the appropriate measures are not taken by the competent bodies, as it is well known that many tourists they come expressly to witness that show.


The airport was created in 1942 and in principle it was to be used as a military airstrip. However, in 1943 it was converted into a civil airport and in 1964 a new terminal was added. In 1985 the facilities were expanded and renovated.
