St. Maarten and St. Barths Extreme Airports

2009

They are the gateways to paradise, but they demand absolute precision. AIRFLIX invites you to a visually stunning aviation spectacle, exploring two legendary Caribbean airfields: the imposing Princess Juliana International (SXM), St. Maarten, and the beautiful, treacherous Gustaf III Airport (SBH), St. Barths. See the staggering contrast as heavy commercial jets execute flawless low-altitude approaches over busy Maho Beach, followed by the nimble, near-vertical descents required to land small aircraft on St. Barths’ notoriously short runway. Captured in exquisite digital quality from every vantage point—including inside the cockpit—this program delivers an experience that is as thrillingly dangerous as it is breathtakingly beautiful.
