If visiting downtown Charlotte Amalie after dark, it is best to do so by car. In general, it is safest to remain near the resort areas at night. This single-terminal facility has an adequate perimeter fencing and lighting. Corporate aircraft park at the northern side of the General Aviation facility. If the parking area becomes overcrowded, incoming corporate aircraft will be repositioned to park at the inactive Taxiway Bravo, which is directly in front of the tower, approximately 500 feet from the General Aviation ramp.
Security guards regularly patrol the tarmac.
The parking area is within view of the tower. Corporate aircraft are parked directly beneath the control tower, where they are both readily observable and difficult for unauthorized individuals to access. However, the incidence of drug trafficking on the island makes it prudent to employ security measures at this facility. Passengers and crew will be escorted from the aircraft to the terminal by an FBO ramp service vehicle. Based on the details of your trip, Air Security will provide a specific security recommendation for your aircraft.
