Air Caraïbes

Air Caraïbes is a French Caribbean airline headquartered at Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport in Guadeloupe, operating as the dominant carrier connecting the French Antilles — Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana — with metropolitan France and other Caribbean destinations. As a French carrier serving French overseas territories, Air Caraïbes occupies a unique position at the intersection of Caribbean geography and French aviation regulation, offering a product that combines tropical island warmth with French service standards. The airline is owned by Groupe Dubreuil — a French conglomerate with deep roots in the Caribbean — and operates as a privately held carrier that competes directly with Air France on the strategically important Paris-Caribbean routes.

Air Caraïbes flies widebody Airbus A350 and Airbus A330 aircraft on its transatlantic routes between Paris Orly and the French Antilles, offering Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins with genuine French culinary influences in the catering. The airline also operates an interisland network within the French Caribbean using ATR turboprops, connecting smaller islands that cannot accommodate jet aircraft. Domestically within the French Caribbean island chain, Air Caraïbes provides the vital air links that residents of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Marie-Galante, Les Saintes, and La Désirade depend upon for daily connectivity.
