Gustaf III Airport, commonly known as Saint Barthélemy Airport or Rémy de Haenen Airport, is a public airport nestled in the charming village of St. Jean on the picturesque Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy. This airport is renowned for its unique and challenging features, making it stand out in the world of aviation.
Due to its exceptionally short runway, close proximity to a nearby road, and the requirement for a special license to land here, Gustaf III Airport has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most dangerous airports. It was ranked third on The History Channel’s list of the most extreme airports. The airport’s unconventional layout and thrilling approach make it a notable destination for aviation enthusiasts.
The airport and the island’s main town, Gustavia, are both named after King Gustav III of Sweden, who played a pivotal role in Sweden’s acquisition of the island from France in 1784. In 1984, the terminal building was inaugurated by the Swedish Minister of Communications, Hans Gustafsson. In 2015, the airport was officially named Aéroport de Saint-Barthélemy-Rémy-de-Haenen, in honor of Rémy de Haenen, an aviation pioneer and former mayor of Saint Barthélemy. Despite its challenges, the airport serves as an essential gateway for the island, handling small regional commercial aircraft, charters, and unique aircraft like the de Havilland Dash 7, which is the largest plane allowed to operate at this airport. The thrilling descent and departure experiences, with aircraft flying low over hilltops and sunbathers on the beach, make Gustaf III Airport a fascinating destination for travelers and aviation enthusiasts alike. Commonly seen aircraft at the airport include the Pilatus PC-12, Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, de Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter, and Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander, all contributing to the airport’s unique charm.
