Grand Case Airport, officially designated as L'Espérance Airport, handles public civil aviation on the French side of Saint Martin. The airfield operates within Grand Case as the island's secondary and smaller aviation facility. Long-term residents use the terminal as a compact alternative to Princess Juliana International Airport, which manages major traffic across the border on the Dutch territory.
