Saba’s Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport
The world’s shortest commercial runway
Certainly, landing on the world’s shortest commercial runway will be an experience you would not
likely forget. With only 400 metres on which to land and take-off, pilots expertly take passengers
into and out of Saba with precision.
Views of chiseled cliffs, verdant rainforests, deep blue sea, red-roofed cottages and the island’s
winding road will be some of your first impressions of Saba as the plane makes its approach.
Adventure-seekers will find this landing to be their first vacation-thrill but many more await. Saba is
small but it packs quite a punch. After your safe but adrenaline-filled landing, you can now explore
this little island with its story-book cottages, great diving and hiking opportunities and history-filled
museums at your leisure.
Visit the Saba Tourist Office for more information about the many adventures that await you on this
slice of paradise.
