Well...invalid tests doesn't equate to all or any being positive...and if the mask thing is real then there should be an issue

How to get to French SXM from Dutch SXM:
Take Winair to SBH, ferry SBH to Marigot.

How to get from French SXM to Dutch SXM: Drive over the border 🙄

Similar with flying into BOS from the hot zone states right now. COVID test requirements or mandatory quarantine...but not an airline issue at all.

Yep, and the airline pays a hefty fine per passenger for transporting them to SXM when they were denied entry.

I wasn't aware of this hefty fine. Do you have a link to document your statement?

It’s not SXM specific, more of a general airlines are responsible for ensuring a passenger is properly documented.

Except we know masks aren’t 100% effective and people have to take them off to eat and drink. If you’re going to allow people to fly with invalid tests then what is the point?
