Hurricane Irma 'extensively' damages Saint Martin's famed airport

Hurricane Irma has caused extreme damage to Saint Martin's Princess Juliana International airport, long a popular spot among aviation fans for catching up-close views of incoming aircraft, according to reports. Princess Juliana airport was "hit hard, with what appeared to be sand washed up to parts of the main terminal, and the building's roof [was] extensively damaged," according to a report from the AP. Curacao-based InselAir issued a travel update Sept 7 saying the airport "is still closed for operation". InselAir has cancelled all flights to Saint Martin through at least Sept 8 due to "enormous damage" on the island, it says. Other airlines, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways and KLM have also cancelled flights to Princess Juliana. <br/>
