Pointe-a-Pitre International Airport

Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport (IATA: PTP), opened in the 1950s, is Guadeloupe’s main air gateway and the busiest airport in the French Caribbean, featuring one main terminal with separate domestic and international halls for efficient connections. The medium-sized airport handles frequent inter-island flights across the Lesser Antilles and seasonal transatlantic services to mainland France, making it essential for both leisure and business travel. Located just a few kilometers from downtown Pointe-à-Pitre and the resort town of Le Gosier, PTP is reachable by taxi, car rentals, local buses and airport shuttles. Fares tend to be affordable on regional carriers but higher for long-haul Paris routes; the airport serves as a base for Air Caraïbes and French Bee and hosts several regional operators such as Air Antilles.
