Copa Airlines’ Destinations in the Americas Tour: Sint Maarten
The journey continues to the Franco-Dutch island of Saint Martin, specifically to the capital city of the Dutch side known as Sint Maarten: Philipsburg.
The island itself was first discovered by the Spanish but they didn’t settle there immediately. Around 1630, the Dutch and the French started to settle in the island, and soon fought against the Spanish, whom later abandoned the island completely, soon after the French and the Dutch agreed to share the island and divide it in half, each of them would have their own part. The city of Philipsburg was founded by John Philips, a Scottish captain in the Dutch navy. The town soon became an economic hub for international trading.
The island however is famous by its airport: Princess Juliana International Airport and the low approaches pilots have to make while landing, flying over Maho Beach, which is just a few meters next to the airport’s runway. Copa Airlines operates at this airport for their flights to Sint Maarten. Besides the plane spotting at Maho Beach, Sint Maarten has also other places to visit like:
- Fort Amsterdam
- Fort Louis
- Parotte Ville Bird Sanctuary
- Old Street
- Paradise Peak
