Princess Juliana International Airport (PJIA) is the airport of St. Maarten. It is located 15 kilometers northwest of Philipsburg. The island of St. Maarten / St. Martin is the smallest landmass in the world shared by two nations. The northern side is governed by the French and the southern side is one of the five island territories that make up the semi autonomous country of the Netherlands Antilles, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. While English is the main language on both sides, Dutch is the official language on the southern side and French the official language on the northern side. Today PJIA is the second busiest airport in the North Eastern Caribbean, in terms of aircraft movements, behind San Juan, Puerto Rico. PJIA is the single most important strategic asset of St. Maarten.

I’ve been there. When the planes fly over you on the beach is great, the sand rises. there is a bar next to the airport where you can listen to the conversation between the tower and the planes.
