The princess Juliana International a Airport Operating Company N.V (PJIAE) operator of the Princess Juliana International Airport is in process of executing phase II of its master plan. Phase II, for which construction officially commenced on June 18, 2004, will ensure that PJIAE will continue to meet the increasing demands of the traveling public.

The phase II project represents a capital investment of US$ 87 million. It consists of a new terminal building, extended aircraft apron, increased car parking capacity and upgraded infrastructure including rerouting of the airport road around the new terminal facility.

The 27,000 square=meter terminal will more than double the size and passenger capacity compared to the current facility: it will be able to accommodate 2.5 million passengers per year – 1.3 million more than it can now. With 42 check-in positions, outfitted with CUTE system, provision is made to amply handle current airlines and accommodate new airlines entries.

In the terminal 2,815 m2 will be dedicated to commercial services, This more than triple the space presently allocated to non-aeronautical commercial services. Within the short PJIAE will commence with the Request for Proposal procedure. PJIAE will then invite interested companies to submit proposals to operate identified concessions at the airport.

The new facilities will ensure continued compliance with the ever-changing international safety, security and passenger comfort standards and will provide the island with a state-of-the-art modern facility that truly reflect the spirit, character and friendliness of St.Maarten/St.Martin.

Once completed the Phase II developments will also anchor and enhanced St.Maarten’s position as a preferred tourist destination and PJIAE’s position as the premier gate way in the northeastern Caribbean
