Her Royal Highness is scheduled to arrive at F.D. Roosevelt Airport at approximately 9:30 a.m., where she will be received by the Island Governor and representatives of the Statia Government. Residents are warmly welcomed to attend the airport upon both her arrival and departure, in accordance with guidance provided by airport security personnel and the police.

Her Royal Highness will then undertake a courtesy visit at the Public Library, where she will meet library staff, community representatives, and young readers in a warm and welcoming setting.
At the conclusion of her programme, Her Royal Highness is expected to depart the island at approximately 4:15 p.m. from F.D. Roosevelt Airport. Residents are equally welcomed to attend the departure in a respectful manner.
The visit reflects Princess Beatrix’s longstanding commitment to culture, education, and the preservation of natural heritage. The Island of Statia warmly welcomes this meaningful opportunity to showcase the island’s achievements, community organisations, and enduring spirit.
