Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport's 1,312-foot runway is far too short for the Bombardier Global 7500 — or any business jet; it is the shortest commercial runway in the world, served only by STOL turboprops such as the DHC-6 Twin Otter. Travelers fly into St Maarten (SXM) and connect by a short STOL turboprop or helicopter.
