Gustaf III Airport, St Barthélemy prohibits jets altogether: its 2,119-foot runway serves only short-takeoff-and-landing turboprops (the Pilatus PC-12, Cessna Grand Caravan, and Twin Otter). The Bombardier Challenger 350 — like every business jet — cannot land here. Travelers fly into nearby St Maarten (SXM) and transfer by small turboprop or helicopter.
