We are looking forward to welcoming the first American passengers this Saturday Feb. 1, 2020. As the carnival season is now in full swing in the archipelago, we could not have picked a better time for the inaugural flight.”

“We are delighted we were able to maintain a connection between New York and Pointe-à-Pître as this route is crucial for the development of our archipelago, said Alain Bièvre, Chairman of the Board of Guadeloupe Pôle Caraibe Airport. “We are convinced that American travelers will leave the Guadeloupe Islands with lifetime memories and come back again and again.
