There is an AP article by David Koenig in today's Albany Times Union about airline safety. The article says that the FAA determines whether countries meet international safety standards as set by the UN's aviation agency. Five countries currently do not meet those standards and Sint Maarten is one of them. I don't know if he is referring to a French side airport or SXM. Does anyone more familiar with the airline industry know what this means? I was assuming it might just be referring to the hurricane damage that has yet to be fully repaired at SXM.
