Sint Eustatius's gateway to the Caribbean Netherlands.
Location
Oranjestad, Sint Eustatius, Caribbean Netherlands
F. D. Roosevelt Airport serves Sint Eustatius, one of the three special municipalities of the Caribbean Netherlands, located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. The airport provides essential air links for this small volcanic island of roughly 3,000 residents, connecting it to neighboring islands.
The airport is named in honor of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, reflecting the historical ties between Sint Eustatius and the United States. It operates as a small regional facility handling light aircraft and short-haul turboprop services.
