The takeoff and landing phases are always the riskiest parts of a flight. When you consider tough conditions like high mountains, steep cliffs, beaches, and busy roads, the risk increases even more.

While there hasn’t been a serious accident, the gas from the aircraft engines poses a danger to people on the beach. When asked why Early St. Martin didn’t move the airport to another location, the answer was straightforward: it’s the safest place on the island for flights.
