Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM)

Saint-Martin and Sint Maarten are served by the Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), which is located 15 km west of Philipsburg and near Simpson Bay, on the Dutch side of the island. The Grand Case Airport, in the north of the island, is used only for regional flights. Taxi services are provided outside both airports. There are also rental cars available, and some hotels will arrange transfers. You have undoubtedly seen photos and videos of planes landing right by the beach. Most of those were taken on Maho Beach — arguably one of the most spectacular places in the world for a plane-spotting. The beach is just west of Princess Juliana Airport.
