Passport to Laughter: These Hilarious Airport Pics Are Worth the Layover

Jet Blasts Are No Joke

Princess Juliana International Airport, nestled on the stunning island of St. Maarten, is famous for its close-up plane spotting at Maho Beach. However, in contrast to that happy feature, this sign starkly warns beachgoers about the dangers of jet blasts.

This cautionary message became especially poignant following a tragic incident in 2017. A tourist, ignoring these warnings, was fatally injured by a jet blast while standing too close to the airport fence during a plane’s takeoff. This heartbreaking event underscored the sign’s grim warning, highlighting the importance of respecting safety advisories at one of the world’s most uniquely positioned airports.
