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.

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.

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.

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.
