Private aircraft customers at Saint Martin’s Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM) will see an upgrade in FBO facilities as the airport authority turns its redundant temporary arrival facility (TAF) into a general aviation terminal (GAT). The 7,500-sq-ft TAF was built to handle commercial operations after TNCM’s terminal was ravaged by Hurricane Irma in 2017. The main terminal took seven years to restore, finally fully opening late last year.

ExecuJet and Signature Aviation, which provide business aviation services at TNCM, are based in small temporary trailer-like structures on the field. They have long negotiated with the airport authority to build new FBOs or even a shared GAT, befitting the airport’s status as one of the major Caribbean gateways for the private jet and yacht set. The two companies are preparing for the move into the TAF facility, which is undergoing renovation. It is set to reopen as a GAT in August.
