About This Airport

Statia's name in logistics comes from NuStar's oil transshipment terminal, yet that trade is entirely seaborne and never touches F. D. Roosevelt Airport (IATA: EUX, ICAO: TNCE). The airport's 1,199-metre runway suits Winair's DHC-6 Twin Otter shuttle from Sint Maarten (SXM) and little else; there is no cargo terminal, no freighter service and no cold storage. Air consignments therefore ride as light belly loads on the turboprops, while anything heavier arrives by sea at the island's roadstead. As a special municipality of the Netherlands, Sint Eustatius sits outside the EU customs territory: imports clear under BES-island rules and are taxed through the general expenditure tax (ABB) rather than VAT. A runway extension of roughly 300 metres to accept larger aircraft has been discussed for years without being built. For forwarders, air freight to Statia is consolidated at Sint Maarten (SXM), with San Juan (SJU) a further regional staging point.
