Air Caraïbes, an airline with Caribbean DNA
The story of Air Caraïbes is a beautiful one! It began in 2000 with the ambitious idea of creating a different kind of airline. A company with a strong, distinctive personality. A company deeply rooted in its Caribbean origins, and sharing the same culture of hospitality and generosity. In short, a company that, like the Bondamanjak pepper, spices up the taste for travel!
Air Caraïbes has had a dual vocation from the outset: to be the link between the Antilles - Guyana, and more generally the Caribbean, via its regional network, and to extend this link beyond the Atlantic thanks to its transatlantic connections with Paris Orly airport.
Today, Air Caraïbes, a scheduled Caribbean airline specializing in the Caribbean and French Guiana, is:
- More than half of our staff are from the Caribbean and French Guiana.
- A head office based in Guadeloupe.
- Transatlantic and regional services to destinations in the Caribbean and French Guiana.
- A warm welcome on board with West Indian musical sounds and announcements made in Creole.
- The choice of local produce and dishes with Caribbean flavors (rum, planteur, juice, chili...). A choice of Caribbean - Guiana-related entertainment (reading corner, newspaper titles, concerts, artists' albums, films, shows...).
