Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport

Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport serves the tiny Caribbean island of Saba, part of the Caribbean Netherlands, and is famous among aviation enthusiasts for having one of the shortest commercial runways in the world at roughly 400 meters. SAB is carved into the island's steep volcanic terrain, flanked by cliffs and ocean on either end, requiring specially trained pilots and small STOL aircraft like the Twin Otter to operate safely. Despite its dramatic and challenging approach, the airport is a vital lifeline for Saba's small population, connecting the island to neighboring Sint Maarten. Saba's airport has become something of a bucket-list destination for aviation geeks drawn to its extreme setting.
