Airport in Anguilla Reopened
St. Maarten's neighbor Anguilla opened the airport again after extending the runway to accommodate larger planes. Passengers with destination Anguilla don't have to change planes in St. Maarten anymore, but can fly into the British island directly from San Juan (Puerto Rico) with American Eagle.
While Princess Juliana Airport in St. Maarten is loosing a bit of traffic (and money), everybody agrees that in the long run the region will win. The islands of Anguilla, St. Maarten, Saba and St. Barths are too close together to be seen as totally separate markets. Amongst the tourism officials there is now a consensus in marketing the region and pointing to the special features of each island, without talking down the others.
