Landing in St-Barts
St-Barts' airport is located in St-Jean. The first landing on the island occurred in 1946, when Franco-Dutch adventurer Rémy de Haenen touched down on a savannah, which would later become the airport. Initially named Saint-Jean-Gustave-III upon its inauguration in 1984, it was renamed Rémy de Haenen in 2015.
The runway, flanked by the sea on one side and mountains on the other, is 646 meters (2,119 feet) long.

Only aircraft under 5.4 tons are authorized to land here. Flying to St-Barts is a one-of-a-kind experience, offering breathtaking views over the sea and the island.
