Maryse Condé International Airport — Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe

Renamed for a celebrated Guadeloupean novelist, Maryse Condé International Airport, coded PTP, honors the acclaimed writer and academic who died in 2024, replacing the airport's previous branding as Pôle Caraïbes in recognition of her stature as one of the French Caribbean's most significant literary voices. Serving Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe's largest city, PTP functions as the main air gateway to this French overseas territory, connecting the island densely to mainland France, particularly Paris, alongside routes to other French Caribbean territories including Martinique and French Guiana. As part of France and the European Union, Guadeloupe uses the euro, and its airport handles a substantial flow of French tourists drawn to the island's beaches, rainforest interior, and Creole culture, plus family travel tied to the large Guadeloupean population living in mainland France. Air France and regional Caribbean carriers dominate the schedule, with seasonal charter capacity added during peak winter tourist months.
