## Description

Tourism fills the terminal at Cyril E. King Airport (STT); cargo keeps a low profile. Squeezed onto a coastal strip west of Charlotte Amalie, the St. Thomas gateway extended its runway to 2,134 metres in 1992 — enough for narrowbody jets but not the heaviest freighters. Amerijet International still serves the island with Boeing 767 flights from Miami, supplemented by Air Cargo Carriers feeders. For heavy or outsized shipments, forwarders route through nearby St. Croix (STX), with its 747-capable runway, or via San Juan (SJU). As a U.S. territory, the islands apply Customs and Border Protection rules with the USVI's distinct tax arrangements.
