World-famous for the Maho Beach approach where aircraft pass just 30-60 feet over sunbathers. KLM, Air France, JetBlue, and American serve the Dutch Caribbean island. Pilots fly the challenging Runway 10 approach with minimal overrun area and hills on short final. The spectator crowds and photography make every landing an event—a bucket-list destination for aviation enthusiasts.
