|---|---|---|---|---|
| Princess Juliana International Airport | SXM | 32 km (20 mi) | 7,546 ft | 13 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,546 ft, SXM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 13 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
