St. Croix FBO Hosts Air Force One
While Bohlke International Aviation has hosted many celebrities in its 65-year history, none compare to its special guest over the year end holidays.

Bohlke International Aviation, the lone FBO at St. Croix’s Henry E. Rohlsen Airport, received a special VVIP group over the holidays—President Joe Biden and his family, who arrived on Air Force One. While the island has long been a favorite vacation destination for the Bidens, this trip—which spanned the period between Christmas and New Year—was the first for him as president and the first visit to the U.S. Virgin Islands by a sitting president since Bill Clinton in 1997.

The Bohlke customer service, maintenance, and ground crew teams worked closely with the U.S. Air Force, Coast Guard, and other government officials for several weeks ahead of the visit to ensure a safe trip for the Biden family. The facility and all its services underwent and passed a thorough audit prior to the visit.
