I know the airport is closed except for cargo; medical emergencies and recovery flights. What I am asking is does anyone know if any flights have been scheduled in the near future. St Maarten doesn't have a US Embassy from what I have heard.

Even if someone knew today of some flights . Tomorrow those could change. All airline flights are in flux right now and probably will be for months.

And the answer is no. The last flight information was announces 2 weeks in advance and was cut in half about 2 weeks before the last flight which I believe was 3/31.
Embassy servicing St Maarten is in Curacao.

Local SXM Police should have phone number for Embassy in Curacao. I did not have the Curacao number and that's why I did not include it in previous post.

When I was on the island, I did contact the US Embassy and received the following response. This was on March 16. As you can see, it was basically a waste of time.
Good Day,
We would advise you to first work with your airline and if that doesn’t work, you can book a flight to another island and take your flight to the U.S from there.
Regards,

As others have stated, Nothing is currently scheduled. May 4 was mentioned by some US airlines but with the SXM airport basically being closed (for 2 months as discussed the other day) who knows for sure.
And here was another "automated response" I got later on March 16.
Embassy of the United States of America
Bridgetown, BARBADOS

Happening right now.
In case you’re interested, a plane organized by US Consulate and the medical school just arrived to take passengers to Charlotte.

Elaine. Do you know what time it is leaving. Have a friend that was going to ride it out at her condo and is now realizing maybe they should get back to the states. I’m sure she has missed this flight!

Not sure. It's a charter for the last of the med students and others who knew about it.

Still not finding anything other than a mid-sized charter from SC that is inbound now and a flight from Miami FL that appears to have landed a short time ago.

With all this info, as I do every day , looking at airport via sunset BB cam and zoomed in to see two medium sized jets on tarmac outside of main terminal. If one is interested, they could wait it out to see them depart. Pax

Kim, sorry. I don't know. It's been on the ground for an hour so it should be gone or going very soon. Bet they want to turn it around real quick.
