Excerpt from Threshold
FlyTampa has shared new images on Facebook that appear to show a new Princess Juliana International Airport (IATA: SXM, ICAO: TNCM) for MSFS.
Shortly after this post, the developer also announced an update to FlyTampa Athens for MSFS 2020/2024.

FlyTampa says Athens version 2.2 has been shipped to vendors, an update that has fine-tuned the localiser and glideslope, and added new three-dimensional gate numbers on the jetways.
Athens can be purchased on the Contrail store for roughly $21 USD.
Perhaps more interestingly, FlyTampa ended the same Athens announcement by saying it was returning to “that other airport”, accompanied by a palm tree, surfing, aircraft, Caribbean Netherlands and French flag emojis, seemingly pointing to the previous Sint Maarten post.

Saint Martin is a single Caribbean island divided between two territories.
The southern part, Sint Maarten, is a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while the northern part, Saint-Martin, is a French overseas collectivity.
Princess Juliana is located on the Dutch side, in Sint Maarten.
As for FlyTampa’s announcement, they don’t really tell us or confirm anything beyond the single image posted, which seems to depict a coastal hotel and surrounding landscaping.
As first reported by FSNews, this location appears to be in St. Maarten, as indicated by comments on FlyTampa’s Facebook post.
A quick comparison with satellite imagery indeed suggests the location as Sonesta Ocean Point Resort, beside Maho Beach and Princess Juliana itself.
