One runway.
An entire economy.
Nearly every dollar Sint Maarten earns arrives by air — over the same fence, onto the same strip of asphalt. Landfall watches that money land, plane by plane, live.
Every arrival becomes money: seats, times how full Caribbean flights really run, times what each origin's visitors spend. An estimate, never a measurement — every number on this page carries its honest band.
Live feed unavailable — running on schedule. Quiet skies are normal; SXM traffic clusters around midday.

Next week's money is already in the air
Airlines file their schedules days ahead — so the island's income can be seen coming. How much cash an ATM network should stage, how much euro demand an FX desk will eat, how many hands a resort needs on Saturday: it's already on the flight plan. Estimated by origin, bands honest, cruise calls marked.

Know your week before it lands
Airlines and cruise lines file their schedules days ahead — so next week's demand is already visible. Pick your business and see which days to staff up, stock up and extend hours, and which days are dead. Every number is a real estimate with an honest band.
2 ships in port + heavy US inbound — staff the floor, prep extra covers, extend the kitchen.
Estimates built from public airline and cruise schedules — seat counts × load factor by origin, plus scheduled cruise calls. Every figure carries an uncertainty band, and the load-factor and spend assumptions are tunable in the Assumptions panel. Treat it as a planning signal, not a booking count.
