Tropic Ocean Airways now flies out of Puerto Rico to St Maarten and surrounding islands

The airline said the new service has been in the works for some time, as negotiations for safe water landings were being negotiated with authorities in the British Virgin Islands, Antigua and Barbuda.

Flights depart from the Jet Aviation private FBO terminal at the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, Bahia Urbana dock in the Old San Juan harbor, or any other suitable location depending on the needs of the guests, according to a company press release.

Charter itineraries tailored to meet the needs of specific guests are anticipated to include flights to the British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla.

In addition, charter flights and sightseeing or day trip excursions are offered around Puerto Rico. This includes direct service to Vieques and Culebra, as well as the option to land around Ponce, Aguadilla or Dorado.
