St Maarten Airport Reopens
By Alexander Britell
St Maarten’s Princess Juliana International Airport, one of the Caribbean’s most important air hubs, has reopened for commercial operations.
It’s a quick turnaround for an airport whose destruction was one of the most powerful symbols of the wrath of Hurricane Irma in the northeastern Caribbean.
“Despite the severe damage the airport sustained with the passage of the monster storms Irma and Maria, we have been able to get back to the point where we can have commercial service again,” said Michel Hyman, COO and Acting CEO of the airport in a statement.
It was about time. St. Martin is a country that believes in democracy and I am quite sure they will bounce back soon unlike Dominica. Also unlike some corrupt government in the Caribbean that we’re in bed with known wanted criminals like Monfared, St. Martin showed us they would have none of that and would go after fake diplomats like Francesco Corallo , even if he had a Dominica passport.
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater.
All things work well in time. The pieces have to be picked up. Repairs to be done and then life will get back to as normal as it possibly could. Most important, life has to go on.
God bless the people of St. Martin. You experienced the wrath of these two hurricanes and what they have done to you and your country. You are strong people who will eventually rise to it all and re-build your country. It will take time as with the other countries that were damaged by the hurricane(s). Keep in mind the saying, “Rome was not built in a day”. Love and Peace!
