Why Saba´s airport is unique

The Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport (with propeller-plane service mostly to/from St. Martin) is distinguished by the world´s shortest commercial airport runway – just 1,312 ft! Flying in and out is a memorable experience, as the airport is flanked by high cliffs and is also itself perched on a cliff that drops into the sea at both ends. It´s celebrated on Saba´s postage stamps, and you can buy a T-shirt that says “I survived the Saba landing!”
