Gustaf III Airport

Common card · No. 269953

Gustaf III Airport (IATA: SBH, ICAO: TFFJ), also known as Saint Barthélemy Airport, Rémy de Haenen Airport, sometimes as St. Jean Airport (French: Aérodrome de St Jean), is a public use airport located in the village of St. Jean on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy. Due to its very short runway, very close proximity to automotive traffic on a nearby road, and the necessity of a license to land at the airport, The History Channel documentary Most Extreme Airports ranked it the third most dangerous airport in the world, behind Toncontín International Airport and Lukla Airport. In spite of sensational videos and intense media coverage, the airport is regarded by experts as extremely safe, though it requires specialty certification for permission to land as a result of its unique features.
