The same question comes up: "When will the airport reopen?" »« The airport applies the travel restriction instructions imposed by the government of St Maarten. For the moment there are no commercial flights, ”replies each time an employee of the airport platform for several weeks.

Monday a dispatch from Reuters announced that Delta would resume some flights from the United States in June, particularly to the Caribbean. Our colleagues from the Daily Herald said that St Maarten is one of the destinations the company wants to take back.

However, no official information has yet been released on the reopening of the airport. Also yesterday in a private group on Facebook, an American said that she had contacted Delta by phone and that the resumption of flights from June 7 was confirmed "if St Maarten reopened its air borders".

Friday morning during a press conference, the prefect Sylvie Feucher said that the subject of the reopening of Juliana had not yet been raised between the authorities on both sides of the island. "This is the next big challenge," said the representative of the State. It would like passengers to be screened according to a strict protocol. They could for example justify a negative test and then submit to a second during their stay. They could also answer a detailed health questionnaire to estimate the risk whether or not they are carriers of the virus (depending on where they come from, etc.). But it remains to be seen whether the St Maarten authorities will accept the rules proposed by the French side, which may, however, impose them at Grand Case airport.

There, the people who returned have already been subjected to a questionnaire. They also signed a contract stipulating that they must remain isolated for fourteen days. In total, this affected nearly 200 people. (soualigapost.com)
