Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM)

For many travelers, the magic of St. Maarten begins the moment their plane touches down at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM). One of the busiest, best-connected airports in the Eastern Caribbean, it serves airlines from North America, Europe and across the region while keeping a relaxed island rhythm.

The world's most famous landing

SXM is legendary for its dramatic approach over Maho Beach, where aircraft skim low over turquoise water before touching down — one of the most iconic landings anywhere, and an unforgettable welcome to the island.

Straight from the gate to the island

Leisure Car Rental is located right by the airport, so you can move from arrival gate to island adventure in minutes — no taxis, no schedules. SXM is also a regional hub with easy connections to Anguilla, St. Barths, Saba and Antigua, and places you minutes from Simpson Bay, Maho Beach and many top hotels.
