Winair is the busiest airline to St. Martin SXM Airport, where it connects to the USA, Paris and Amsterdam. Tradewind Airlines also operates a significant number of flights from San Juab, Puerto Rico.

It is a good idea to allow time when planning your air travel. Due to the challenging terrain around the runway, the airport can only be flown to in good weather and only during daylight hours.
