The new v2 version of St. Thomas Intl' Airport for MSFS features a totally rebuild terminal building featuring fully detailed interior modelling as well as a much more detailed external model of the terminal, updated ground layout to reflect recent apron changes and other changes to bring the airport up to date.
Cyril E. King International Airport (IATA: STT, ICAO: TIST, FAA LID: STT) is a public airport located two miles (3 km) west of the central business district of Charlotte Amalie on the island of St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands. It is currently the busiest airport in the United States Virgin Islands, and one of the busiest in the eastern Caribbean.
The airport also serves nearby St. John and is often used by those traveling to the British Virgin Islands.
The airport operates one main runway, 7,200 ft × 150 ft (2,195 m × 46 m) long. The terminal operates 11 gates.
Historically, a number of airlines operated scheduled passenger jet service into St. Thomas as well as St. Croix in the past. These air carriers included Air Florida with Douglas DC-9-10s, Caribair with McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30s, Eastern Airlines with Boeing 727-100s, 727-200s and 757-200s, Midway Airlines with Boeing 737-200s, and MD-87s Pan Am with Boeing 727-200s as well as A300B4s, A310s and Trans Caribbean Airways with Boeing 727-200s. One air carrier that has served St. Thomas for many years is American Airlines. In 1974, American was serving the airport with Boeing 707 and Boeing 727-100 jetliners with nonstop flights to New York City. In 1994, American was operating Airbus A300-600R wide body jets into St. Thomas with nonstop service to Miami.
Cyril E. King Airport also hosted a number of charter airliners, from the 757 to the 767 to the DC-10. It was known as Harry S Truman Airport until 1984, when it was renamed to honor Cyril Emmanuel King, the second elected governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands. A new passenger terminal opened in November 1990 and retained the name.

Notes
This product features our simInstaller technology and is available after purchase via our APP only.
The upgrade is nice, but having to pay higher than the "on sale price" again for what the airport should have been to start is disappointing.
Main complaint is poor attention was paid to gate parking. All real life aerial views, including MSFS loading screen show In real life gates 9 & 10 are set aside for multiple parking spots of "GA level" inter-island airlines. This is not modeled (Although there is a "gate 11" placard). So if you are wanting to fly a Cessna level commuter you park at a "big gate", and small AI will not look right. There are also two spots (Ramp 29 and Parking 30) that are right in the middle of the tank farm at the south end of the airport.
The terminal interior is fair, exterior is good except for the terminal main / flat roof is low res compared to the rest of it.
