Airport guide

Henry E. Rohlsen Airport is the main gateway to St. Croix, the largest island in the US Virgin Islands. As a US territory, flights arriving from the continental US require no customs clearance. International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection at the airport. The airport handles jet and turboprop charter traffic alongside commercial service, and its lower commercial volume compared to St. Thomas (TIST) means ramp congestion is rarely a problem. Private passengers typically move through quickly.

The airport sits on the island's southwestern coast. FBO services are available for fuel, ground handling, and passenger amenities. No slot restrictions apply for charter operations. St. Croix sees steady private aviation traffic tied to the Buck Island area, the resort corridor along the north shore, and Christiansted Harbor.

Getting there

Christiansted, the island's main commercial and dining hub, is about 12 miles east of the airport. Drive time is roughly 25 to 30 minutes. Frederiksted, on the western coast, is about 5 miles north and under 15 minutes by car. Taxis are available curbside at the terminal. Several car rental agencies operate on-site, which is the practical choice for exploring the island. Resort properties along the north shore, including the areas around Cane Bay and Davis Bay, are 20 to 40 minutes depending on exact destination.
