Jean-Jacques Celice International Airport (Principean: Aéroport international Jean-Jacques Celice; IATA: SBT, ICAO: MASB) is an international airport on the island of Saint-Baptiste. The only airport in the country, Jean-Jacques Celice International Airport sees around 800,000 travelers annually. Although the terminal is located in Sainte-Anne Parish, the runway crosses into Sainte-Marie Parish.
History
Saint-Baptiste's first airport was built in 1940 during the Second Great War as a military airbase for Coalition forces, particularly Albrennia. After the war, the Port-Anne International Air Force Base was converted to civilian use, receiving a $2,000,000 CMR renovation and officially opening to civilian aircrafts in 1946 under its current name. Since then, Jean-Jacques Celice sees service by a number of regional and international airlines, particularly those from mainland Marceaunia. The airport's runway was extended in 1981 to allow jetliners to land, and saw a second major renovation of 1.2 million SBL in 2015, updating Jean-Jacques Celice's terminal.
The airport is operated by the Saint-Baptiste Aviation Authority, and has been wholly owned by the government of Saint-Baptiste since the start of its operations.
