Several times in the past SXM has been a stopover point for new planes making their way to be put into use. Embraer (Brazil) has used SXM for a stopover point in the past.

Could be, I did not see the planes, just making a guess.

Definitely looks like the same plane. I wondered a bit whether it had something to do with Dorian. Makes sense.

We saw planes that looked similar back in March 2019. With binoculars hubby saw men all dressed in grey exit planes. When we asked we were told French military planes, people to survey and work because of IRMA. Perhaps this is the same?

Lots of planes evacuated to SXM to avoid extreme conditions elsewhere. The plain white planes are probably private jets we usually see during high season. Lots of them came in last evening.

I thought what Bahston said sounded most probable and seems he just confirmed.
Didn't know there was an airport Facebook page. Thanks for that info also.
