Private Charter Between Nassau and St. Barts.

Why this route

St. Barts is one of the most-requested luxury Caribbean destinations but one of the more demanding airports in the hemisphere. TFFJ's 2,170-foot runway is down a 13% gradient, with terrain shaping the approach, and is restricted to type-trained crews on a specific list of small turboprops and light singles. No jet — and certainly no midsize like the Lear 60 — can fit the field.

We solve this with the standard trip pattern: Nassau-to-St. Maarten on the Lear, then a brokered 12-minute hop on a Tradewind, St. Barth Commuter, or Winair light twin from TNCM into TFFJ. The same chain reverses. We coordinate both legs end-to-end with one quote, one team on the file, and the broker-network lift confirmed before the Lear ever leaves Nassau.

Airport & FBO

St. Maarten / Princess Juliana (TNCM) is the connection airport — the Lear lands there, the onward broker aircraft picks you up on the ramp. Arrindell Aviation Services and Signature both operate biz aviation FBOs at TNCM with full private-terminal services and customs clearance for the international arrival.

Gustaf III Airport (TFFJ) in St. Barts is your final destination. The onward leg is 12 minutes by air; ground transfer from TFFJ into Gustavia is 10 minutes. The small Bahamian-flagged aircraft chain isn't novel — most operators serving St. Barts run it this way, and the broker partners we use are experienced on the field.

On the Nassau end, all flights operate out of MYNN. Customs and immigration on the Bahamas side handled at MYNN; St. Maarten customs at TNCM; the onward leg to TFFJ is intra-French-Caribbean and clears with French immigration on arrival at TFFJ.
