Gustaf III Airport

a year ago

The roundabout at the top of the hill has a dedicated viewing deck, reached by a flight of steps. It provides a stunning view of the breathtaking approaches of the aircraft as they descend steeply over the hill to touch down on the short runway. Be aware that there is no shade or other facilities and come prepared for the fierce Caribbean sun. Take lots of pictures and you will be delighted with the results.

Lovely carribean airport in St Barth 🛩️🇫🇷🇸🇽 . Thank you to our pilot to have negotiated the landing with delicacy and thank you to the director for giving us permission to land at the last minute and saving us a place during the busy Thanksgiving period. the staff is really great from manager to customs officers 🙏🏻👨🏻‍✈️.

What an excellent airport! This is avgeek and aviation enthusiasts heaven! Short runway with a challenging approach makes for some excellent plane spotting from the hills and beach nearby the airport. It can be worth flying to Saint Barts just for this alone, although the island is very charming too and can easily spend some time there.

What a special runway has Gustav III Airport at St Barth’s. You can stand by the roundabout and watch the airplane dive into the airport. It’s one of the things what was on my bucket list, to watch those landings on the 650 meter short runway. If you love aviation it’s worth to visit this fantastic island. It’s nice, clean and has a great temperature. Tip: don’t forget you camera to make some beautiful pictures. If you like the view as well please like this review. Thanks!!👍🏼☺️

You must go up the hill from Gustavia to see the planes come over the top of you and descend at an amazing angle to land. Incredible. Dont miss it.
