FeelThere - TIST St Thomas Cyril E King Airport (MSFS)

The feelThere team brings you the TIST public airport, located west of the central business district on the island of St. Thomas, for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The airport is currently the largest international airport in the United States Virgin Islands and one of the busiest hubs in the eastern Caribbean, our favourite at FeelThere.

The airport operates one main runway which is 7,000ft × 150ft (2,134m × 46m) long. Featuring two departure areas and 11 gates, the airport is fairly easy to navigate and services major international airlines, including American, Delta, JetBlue, Spirit and United.

Interesting facts

• The airport was originally known as Bourne Field and was an airfield for the US military. The Virgin Islands took ownership of the airport after WWII. The original terminal was first built in the 1940s and called the Harry S. Truman Airport. In 1984 the airport was renamed after the second elected governor of the US Virgin Islands, Cyril E. King.
• Cyril E. King’s runway was expanded from 4,200 feet to 7,000 feet in 1992, making it one of the largest deep-water runways in the Caribbean.
