St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

The three main US Virgin Islands differ in how a private flight reaches them. A private jet to St. Thomas or a private jet to St. Croix lands right on the island. A private jet to St. John lands on St. Thomas, because St. John has no runway.

St. Thomas	Lands at Cyril E. King, 7,000 ft, two miles west of Charlotte Amalie	Harbor shopping, resorts and yacht departures
St. Croix	Lands at Henry E. Rohlsen, 10,002 ft, the longest runway in the territory	Christiansted, Frederiksted, and diving
St. John	St. Thomas, then a 20-minute ferry or water taxi from Red Hook to Cruz Bay	National park beaches and villas

St. Thomas and St. Croix each have an airport long enough for every business jet. Both are customs landing rights airports, so flights arriving from other countries clear there. St. Thomas is staffed 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; St. Croix 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. San Juan, 59 nautical miles west, is the backup for the largest aircraft.

Airport	Codes	Runway	Aircraft	FBOs	Notes
Cyril E. King, St. Thomas	TIST / STT	7,000 ft (10/28)	Every business jet	Standard Aviation; Execujet; St. Thomas Jet Center (Signature); Alliance Aviation	Closest airport to St. John and the BVI.
Henry E. Rohlsen, St. Croix	TISX / STX	10,002 ft (10/28)	Every jet size	Bohlke International Aviation (BIA)	Attended 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.; fuel after 7 p.m. needs prior notice.
Luis Muñoz Marín, San Juan	TJSJ / SJU	10,400 ft (08/26)	Every jet size	Jet Aviation San Juan; Airport Aviation Services	Puerto Rico gateway, 59 nm from St. Thomas.

Neither USVI runway limits the jet, so range and cabin decide the choice. Light jets suit Florida departures, and midsize jets fit Atlanta and Washington. Super midsize jets fly nonstop from the Northeast and Chicago. Turboprops handle the short hops between islands.

Category	Example Aircraft	Passengers	Hourly Rate	USVI Use
Turboprop	Pilatus PC-12 NGX, King Air 350	4–10	$1,300–$2,500/hr	St. Thomas, St. Croix and San Juan hops

No. The USVI is a US territory, so US citizens fly in from the mainland without a passport. Non-US guests need a valid passport and follow standard US visa or ESTA rules. The flight back is the extra step: US customs clears passengers, and USDA rules apply to the aircraft. Unused catering must go to an approved handler before departure.

The USVI season runs from mid-December through April, when rain is lowest and the islands are busiest. Holiday weeks and spring breaks fill aircraft and villas first. From June to November, hurricane risk means trips need room to move. Rates and aircraft choice ease in May.

Months	Conditions	Planning Tip
Mid-December to April	Dry, busy high season	Book aircraft and villas early.
Holiday and spring break weeks	Peak demand	Reserve several weeks ahead.
May	Shoulder season	Wider aircraft choice.
June 1 to November 30	Atlantic hurricane season	Keep dates and routing flexible.
