The landing runway is 2170 feet long, and the approach, from either direction, is often plagued by varying degrees of turbulence. As a result, the French aviation authorities require that a special permit be issued to any pilot who intends to land in St. Barts.
Those planning to land in St Barts will have to land in Grand Case, French St Martin, first, in order to get their qualification. St Barts Control tower (Telephone: 590 590 27 65 33 - Fax: 590 590 27 98 96 ) will tell you how to contact a French instructor for certification. It takes a couple of hours, and includes touch-and-go in both directions. Don't do it on a windy day with a hangover.
The landing fee varies from 8.5 Euros to 12.5 Euros, and parking fee is 5.5 Euros/ night.
There are no mechanic nor fuel on the field. Best nearby place for that is at Grand Case Airport in St. Martin. No fuel is available during their long lunch hour.
When you arrive or depart, you are required to deposit a General Declaration form with the immigration officer at the door and file a flight plan : call (+590) 590 27 65 33 or fax (+590) 590 27 98 96.
If you do not own your own airplane and want the feeling of arriving in a private aircraft, locally based charter flights are available.
Vaccinating dogs and cats against rabies, and that between 21 days and one year before the date of travel (knowing that those less than three months may not travel).
Subjecting dogs and cats a pest control treatment. To identify dogs, cats and ferrets (designated as "domestic carnivores") by a veterinarian.
From 2011, the only tattoo identification will no longer suffice: a microchip must necessarily have been implanted in animals. Expect to obtain a health certificate within 5 days prior to your departure. And do not forget their health journal!
By plane Pets are allowed on board planes, but it is necessary to check with the company on its specific conditions. Introduce yourself at least half an hour before recording. In general, animals weighing less than 5kg may travel in the cabin - without exceeding the threshold of two animals on the same flight - in a box or bag.
Beyond that weight, the animals travel in the hold - ventilated, heated and pressurized - in cages registered (purchased in a pet shop or airport) and specifying the meaning of storage (up, down). Question Rate it takes - on a long-haul - by kilo: about 1.5% of adult fare for one way economy class.
Disabled people as moving with their guide dogs are entitled to free service and the presence of the animal at their side. A note on the birds 'travelers' and to avoid unwanted chirping and singing: a black cloth should cover the cage during the flight.
