FeelThere - TIST - St. Thomas International Airport MSFS

TIST public airport located west of the central business district on the island of St. Thomas has arrived for Microsoft Flight Simulator  developed by FeelThere team. This airport is currently the largest international airport in the United States Virgin Islands and one of the busiest hubs in the eastern Caribbean, our favorite at FeelThere.

The airport operates one main runway, 7,000 ft × 150 ft (2,134 m × 46 m) 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:

• In 1984, the airport was renamed after the second elected governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands - Cyril E. King.
