Before the construction of the airport in Saint Jean, the few planes that dared to land in Saint Barth used the gassy savannah as a runway, and the “departure lounge” was under a large tree, shoes covered with dust. 
 
 
Today, located in the center of Saint Barthélemy, the Gustaf III Airport is the strategic point of entry for most visitors on vacation or on business. Limited by the beach on one end and a mountain on the other, the short runway is less than one-half-mile long. This requires delicate maneuvers on behalf of the pilots, who must be specially certified for the landing and cannot bring in anything larger than a 19-seater. 
 
 
The airport in Saint Barthélemy provides modern comfort and convenience, as well as security, for both arrivals and departures. 
 
St Barth is just a 10-minute flight from St Martin, 40 minutes from Antigua, one hour from Guadeloupe, and 90 minutes from Puerto Rico.
 
In 2008, there were 162,590 passengers at the airport, with 39,313 flights. 
 
The management staff of the airport is available Monday through Saturday, from 8am to 8pm (closed on Sunday).
 
The air traffic is controlled by AFIS (Aerodrome Flight Information Service) from 7am until 15 minutes after sunset everyday. Radio contact is obligatory and must be established on the frequency “St Barth Info) at 118.45 Mhz.
