VATSIM St. Maarten Saturdays

Join us on the first Saturday of every month for St. Maarten Saturdays, a recurring event bringing busy skies and full ATC coverage to one of the Caribbean's most iconic destinations—Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM). Experience the thrill of flying into St. Maarten, home to the world-famous final approach over Maho Beach, where aircraft pass just metres above the shoreline before touching down. Whether you're flying a quick island hop or a long-haul service into the Caribbean, you'll enjoy a challenging and immersive ATC experience in one of VATSIM's most popular destinations. Due to the airport's limited capacity and the high volume of expected traffic, arrival delays, sequencing, and airborne holding should be anticipated. Pilots are strongly advised to carry additional fuel to accommodate potential vectors, holding patterns, and extended delays. Planning ahead will help ensure a safe and realistic experience for everyone. Make St. Maarten Saturdays part of your monthly flying schedule and join us on the first Saturday of every month for spectacular approaches, busy frequencies, and an unforgettable evening in the Caribbean.
