F. D. Roosevelt Airport
EUX identifies F.D. Roosevelt Airport on Sint Eustatius, a small island in the Caribbean Netherlands often called Statia. The airport, named for the American president, provides essential connectivity for this tiny special municipality, primarily through short regional flights to nearby islands such as Sint Maarten and Saba. Given Sint Eustatius's small population and limited infrastructure, EUX functions as a lifeline for residents, medical transport, and the modest tourism drawn to the island's diving sites and the historic Oranjestad settlement. The runway's short length and the island's compact terrain mean only small aircraft can operate there, shaping the airport's role as strictly a regional connector rather than an international gateway.
