St Barth Commuter Hub Airport
Gustaf III Airport
Gustaf III Airport (SBH) is located at St. Jean, Saint Barthélemy. It's a relatively small airport with only a concrete runway and a passenger terminal. Due to the runway restrictions, only small turboprops are allowed to fly to the airport and pilots need to be fully trained for the airport as there are challenging landscapes around the airport.
St Barth Commuter isn't the only airline that flies to the airline, the other airlines flying to and from the airport include Air Antilles, Tradewind Aviation and Winair.
St Barth Commuter Fleet
As of September 2020, St Barth Commuter operates a fleet of Cessna C208B - Grand Caravan. These aircraft are small single-engine turboprop aircraft with a capacity of nine passengers.
