Henry E. Rohlsen Airport is a crucial public airport situated six miles southwest of Christiansted on the captivating island of St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands. Named in honor of Henry E. Rohlsen, a distinguished native of St. Croix and one of the esteemed Tuskegee Airmen during World War II, this airport has played a significant role in the region’s air travel landscape.
While it primarily serves inter-Caribbean flights, Henry E. Rohlsen Airport is capable of handling jets as large as the Boeing 747s. Before 1996, the airport bore the name Alexander Hamilton International Airport. During World War II, it was known as Benedict Airfield, hosting the 12th Bombardment Squadron (25th Bombardment Group) for antisubmarine patrols. After the war, it was transferred to civilian control and renamed to honor Alexander Hamilton, a former St. Croix resident and founding father of the United States.
Over the years, several airlines have operated scheduled passenger jet services to St. Croix, emphasizing its role as a key transportation hub in the Caribbean. American Airlines, in particular, has maintained a presence on the island, connecting it with various destinations. Recent developments, such as the Antonov An-124 landing in 2018 to deliver hurricane recovery supplies, underscore the airport’s significance in aiding disaster relief efforts in the region.
In line with its commitment to modernization and improvement, Henry E. Rohlsen Airport embarked on a multi-phase terminal expansion and renovation project. The first phase, estimated at $8.6 million, was funded by a $7 million grant from the US Department of Commerce-Economic Development Administration, with a local match of $1.6 million from the VI Port Authority. This phase included enhancing lounge space, upgrading passenger facilities, and more. Further phases aimed to add jet bridges, expand concession and retail areas, and enhance passenger flow. The project, estimated at $140 million in total, signifies Henry E. Rohlsen Airport’s dedication to providing passengers with a world-class travel experience while bolstering the island’s connectivity and tourism prospects.
