Private Jet Charterto St Thomas
Flying into St Thomas, US Virgin Islands through Cyril E King and 1 alternate field. Operators bid on your trip without knowing who is flying it.
Arrival
Landing at St Thomas
St Thomas sits in US Virgin Islands at 18.34 degrees north, 64.97 degrees west. Charter traffic works through Cyril E King, TIST.
You have 2 fields to choose between: Cyril E King (TIST) and Henry E Rohlsen St Croix (TISX). They are not interchangeable. Runway length decides which aircraft can use each one, customs facilities decide which can take an international arrival, and ground transfer time to your actual destination often matters more than either.
Ask any operator to confirm three things for your date before you commit: ramp and overnight parking availability, customs hours if you are arriving internationally, and whether the aircraft they are offering has an approved crew for the field. The third one catches people out at terrain constrained airports where the operator needs a specific qualification.
| Airport | ICAO | IATA | Coordinates | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyril E King | TIST | STT | 18.337, -64.973 | Preferred |
| Henry E Rohlsen St Croix | TISX | STX | 17.702, -64.799 | Alternate |

Cyril E King (TIST / STT) takes most charter traffic. The alternates are Henry E Rohlsen St Croix (STX). Choose on ground transfer time to your actual address, not on the name you recognise, because the difference in drive time frequently outweighs the difference in flight time.
How long is a private jet flight to St Thomas?
It depends entirely on where you start. Across the routes we publish into St Thomas, the shortest is 964 nautical miles and the longest is 2,753. In a midsize jet that spans roughly 2h 35m to 6h 43m. Every route page carries the exact figure for that specific pair.
What does a private jet to St Thomas cost?
There is no fixed number, and any site that gives you one is guessing. The dominant variable is whether an operator already has a suitable aircraft near your departure point, because a positioning leg can cost as much as the flight you actually want. Send the trip through the form and certificated operators bid on it against each other, sealed, without knowing who you are.
Can I fly into St Thomas on a light jet?
On 8 of the 14 routes we publish into St Thomas, yes, a light jet covers the leg nonstop with comfortable margin. On the rest the sector length forces either a fuel stop or a larger class. The route page for your specific origin shows which applies.
Do I need to clear customs flying private into St Thomas?
Yes. A private aircraft still crosses the border under the same rules, but the process happens at the private terminal instead of a public arrivals hall, and it is usually quick. The operator files the manifest in advance, so passport details are needed before departure. Some routings also need landing or overflight permits with days of lead time, which is worth raising when you request the quote.
