Traffic at Pôle Caraïbes airport in Guadeloupe recorded 39.206 passengers last month, but remains down 77% compared to June 2019.
While it had welcomed less than 11 passengers last May, Guadeloupe airport counted 000 in June 39.206. The lifting of containment (2020nd phase) and the gradual relaxation of quarantine measures have allowed “a cautious recovery air travel ”last month, travel that despite everything remains restricted to domestic destinations (mainland and French West Indies).
Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes Airport received nearly 171.200 passengers in June 2019, a loss of traffic of 77%.
Towards the mainland, traffic is down 81%, with 20.000 passengers in June 2020 against 102 last year. In addition to Air France flights, those of the airlines Air Caraïbes and Corsair have been added, which gradually relaunched their operations at the end of June as soon as the capacity limits were announced. These two companies are continuing the gradual resumption of their flight program, gradually increasing their frequencies.
For the holiday season (July / August), these three companies should according to the airport "operate between 3 to 5 daily flights to Paris, against a total of 6 to 7 in previous years".
The supply situation should improve over the months of July and August, leading to an overall supply down by around 45% over the summer period, “knowing that the big question will remain attendance in the context particular that we live ”. Transatlantic traffic remains governed by health measures applicable to passengers arriving in Guadeloupe, who must present a negative PCR test dating less than 72 hours before the departure of their flight to the West Indies, as well as a certificate on the honor of no presentation of symptoms.
• Traffic to the Northern Islands down 52%
The regional domestic network posted a decrease of 65% in June. Traffic to the Northern Islands (Saint Martin Grand Case and Saint Barthélémy) is down 52%, to just over 7800 passengers against nearly 16.300 last year. The frequency of flights operated by Air Caraibes and Air Antilles on this network and the absence of travel restrictions, however, made it possible to generate "less negative performance than the overall traffic trend".
Towards Martinique and Guyana, traffic is down by 71% (10.300 passengers transported against 35.700 last year), and remains "severely impacted by the resurgence of the epidemic in Guyana", despite 3 to 4 daily frequencies operated by regional carriers and the lifting of travel restrictions between Guadeloupe and Martinique. Remember that the health emergency remains in force in Guyana and that travel from this department remains prohibited, except for compelling reasons. In this case, passengers coming from Guyana and authorized to travel must have carried out a PCR test 72 hours before their departure and are subject, on their arrival, to a PCR test and a quarantine of 7 days.
