Marie-Galante Airport

Marie-Galante Airport (GBJ) serves the island of Marie-Galante, a rural dependency of Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean known for its sugarcane fields, traditional rum distilleries, and slower pace of life compared to the main Guadeloupe islands. Located near Grand-Bourg, GBJ handles short inter-island flights connecting Marie-Galante to Pointe-à-Pitre and other nearby French Antilles destinations, since ferry service is the more common alternative for many travelers. The airport is small, with a short runway suited only to light aircraft, reflecting the limited scale of tourism and commerce on an island that has deliberately preserved much of its agricultural character. GBJ remains an important option for residents needing quicker access to Guadeloupe's larger hospitals and services.
