St. Barthelemy Airport

St. Barthélemy’s Gustaf III Airport (IATA: SBH), often called St. Barts airport, opened in the 1950s and features a single compact terminal serving short-haul and charter traffic to the French Caribbean. Famous for its very short runway and dramatic hilltop approach, SBH is a small but vital hub for luxury tourism and island connectivity, with regular links to Sint Maarten, Guadeloupe and regional islands via carriers like St Barth Commuter, Winair and several charter operators (Tradewind, Air Caraïbes charters). Ground access is mostly by taxi and shuttle on steep island roads, with ferries from nearby islands an easy alternative; flights and transfers tend to be pricey due to limited capacity.
