Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport

Saint-Barthélemy / Rémy de Haenen Airport (TFFJ) sits in Saint-Jean on St Barths in the French Caribbean. The single 2,133 ft runway is one of the most challenging in commercial aviation — a steep descent over a hill on final, landing on a short uphill runway that ends at the beach. Only short-takeoff aircraft can operate: Twin Otter, Pilatus PC-12, helicopters, Cessna 208. Most St Barths-bound bizjet arrivals land at TNCM (Sint Maarten, 10 min by helicopter or 25 min by Tradewind Aviation Pilatus shuttle). Field elevation 49 ft, no density-altitude concerns. The runway is closed at sunset. St Barths is one of the world's most concentrated UHNW Caribbean luxury destinations, particularly around Christmas / New Year and August. Ground time to Gustavia (the harbor) is 5 minutes.
