The Princess Juliana International Airport NV hereby informs the general public that as per Thursday, September 9, 2010, all traffic will be rerouted to facilitate the ongoing works of the RESA (Runway End Safety Area) and the new airport road.
Traffic traveling to and from the airport will be rerouted adjacent to the fencing of the airport property. Measures are in place to direct the traffic flow at this location. Motorists are asked to reduce speed and exercise caution, Mr. Holiday indicated.
RESAs are located at the runway extremity and are primarily intended to reduce the risk of damage to an airplane undershooting or overrunning the runway. Construction of the RESA began on March 8, 2010 in keeping with regulations set forth by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which requires airports to have a safety area at both ends of their runways.
PJIAE regrets any inconvenience caused as a result of the temporary road rerouting.
