Traveling by air between San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) and St. Barthlemy (SBH) offers a convenient connection between these two Caribbean islands. The route typically involves smaller aircraft suited to the shorter runway at Gustaf III Airport (SBH) in St. Barts. This air link provides a significantly faster alternative to ferry travel.
This air service plays a vital role in supporting St. Barts’ tourism-based economy, facilitating access for visitors and enabling smoother travel for residents. It provides a crucial link for business and commerce as well. Historically, access to St. Barts was primarily by sea, making air travel a relatively modern development that has dramatically improved connectivity.
