## Description

Amerijet International underpins the freight side of Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX), flying Boeing 767 freighters from its Miami (MIA) hub to St. Croix with general, pharmaceutical and perishable cargo. The airport's 3,049-metre runway — the longest in the U.S. Virgin Islands — is rated for aircraft up to the Boeing 747 and operates around the clock. Sitting six miles southwest of Christiansted, STX combines scheduled passenger service with genuine cargo throughput rather than tourism alone. Customs follow U.S. Customs and Border Protection rules, modified by the territory's special tax status. When hurricane reconstruction demanded outsized loads, an Antonov An-124 used the runway in 2018. For forwarders, St. Croix is the heavier-freight gateway of the USVI, complementing passenger-focused St. Thomas.
