When it comes to the ultra-exclusive world of private jet destinations, there’s one place in the Caribbean that comes out on top right now.

It’s Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas, the recently redeveloped airport in the Abacos chain, according to private jet firm XOJET.

That airport accounted for between 25 and 33 percent of XOJET’s total Caribbean flights this year.

St Maarten is number two, followed by the Turks and Caicos and the US Virgin Islands.

And private jet travel is predicted to rise this winter, the company says.
