## Description

Amerijet International underpins the freight side of Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (IATA: STX, ICAO: TISX), flying Boeing 767 freighters from its Miami (IATA: MIA) hub to St. Croix with general, pharmaceutical and perishable cargo. The 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. The airport is run by the Virgin Islands Port Authority, which in 2026 is also rebuilding the Wilfred "Bomba" Allick Marine Terminal in a $22.4 million programme; that container port handles more than 90 percent of all goods entering the territory, so air freight through STX concentrates on urgent shipments, pharmaceuticals and spare parts. For forwarders, St. Croix is the heavier-freight gateway of the USVI, complementing passenger-focused St. Thomas (IATA: STT).
