Rohlsen, a St. Croix native who was one of the [[Tuskegee Airmen]] during [[World War II]]. The airport, which was a hub for [[Aero Virgin Islands]] in the 1970s and 1980s, can receive jets up to the size of the [[Boeing 747]]s. Before 1996 the airport was known as '''Alexander Hamilton International Airport'''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.viport.com/airports/hera.html|title=Virgin Islands Port Authority|website=The United States Virgin Islands' Airports and Seaports|access-date=2018-06-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180708061217/http://www.viport.com/airports/hera.html|archive-date=July 8, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==History== [[File:Henry E.

During the time the military operated the airport, it was called Benedict Airfield. When the airport was transferred to civilian control, it was renamed to honor former St. Croix resident Alexander Hamilton.

Rohlsen Airport Terminal Expansion and Modernization Project as of September 2020. The improvements to the terminal will be completed in four phases over a six-year period. Phase one entails enclosing 5,500 square feet of walkway space to increase the lounge's seating capacity, refurbishing the existing passenger lounge space and restrooms, enclosing the 1,100-square-foot open-air gardens with a new roof structure to provide additional concessions space, and upgrading the mechanical systems for the additional air-conditioned area. Phase one is estimated to cost $8.6 million and was funded by a $7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration in 2019 with a local match of $1.6 million from the VI Port Authority. The construction was anticipated to take 18 months and end in March 2022, but was ahead of schedule and ended on December 21, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 21, 2021 |title=VIPA Celebrates Completion of Phase One of Terminal Expansion |url=https://stjohnsource.com/2021/12/21/vipa-celebrates-completion-of-phase-one-of-terminal-expansion/}}</ref> Phases two through four include the addition of a second level to accommodate jet bridges, additional hold room, concession and retail space, improvement of passenger flow and baggage handling in the terminal; redesign, expansion, and modernization of the interior of the terminal to make the best use of the existing floor plan; the addition of tropical landscaping; and changes to improve the flow of vehicular traffic. Expanding the terminal will allow St. Croix to take full advantage of its 10,000-foot runway. While Phase 1 of the HERA Terminal Expansion is fully funded, VIPA is actively seeking funding sources for Phases 2 through 4.
