St. Bathelemy Wings Flying Club, Aeroporte de St. Bathelemy,
97133, District of Guadeloupe


Guadeloupe itself, not SBH 100+ miles to the north, has a number of
airports. The main PTP w/ 11,000-ft runway is home to a number of private
planes. The airport at St Francois is smaller, and has fewer planes which
call it home. St Francois is an upscale resort area. I really haven't
looked at the small airport next to Basse Terre. There are small airports
w/ scheduled Twotter service on 4 of the nearby islands of Guadeloupe. I've
seen 2 of them and didn't notice any resident planes.

The airport at Montserrat, within sight north of Guadeloupe, has been closed
by volcanic flows. I understand that a new airport is about to open.
