Felix Eboue Airport

Félix Eboué Airport in Cayenne opened in the late 1960s and operates from a single main passenger terminal, serving as French Guiana’s primary international gateway. The compact but busy airport handles regional flights across the Caribbean and South America as well as long-haul links to mainland France, making it an important hub for local travel. Located in Matoury about 13 km south of downtown Cayenne, it’s reachable by taxi, car rental and limited bus/shuttle services, with straightforward transfers to nearby towns. Prices are generally mid-range—regional fares are affordable while direct flights to Paris tend to be pricier—and the field is a base for regional carrier Air Guyane alongside regular Air France services.
