Although one of the busiest airports in the Eastern Carribean (serves both the US and UK Virgin Islands) with well over a million passengers a year, you usually get around 40 movements a day, most of which consist of small aircraft (Cessna, ATR, and DHC) of regional airlines (Cape Air, Air Sunshine, LIAT, Seaborne Airlines,...). However, also US carriers like Delta, US Airways, United and Spirit serve this airport daily with 757s, Airbus 319s and Embraers. | |||

Except for the airport facilities, there are not any around the airport. The best way to get around if of course a car that you can rent at the airport. There is a sidewalk that follows the fence of the part airport on the island (the other side of the runway stretches into the ocean) should you want to walk. | |||
There is a couple of hotels within one kilometer from the airport terminal that allow you to be literally within a 2 minute walk from your room to the fence of the airport. Although close to the airport, the hotels feature clean and quite carribean beaches. | |||
