## Description

Air France, Corsair and French Bee anchor the long-haul schedule that links Martinique Aimé Césaire (IATA: FDF, ICAO: TFFF) to mainland France, their wide-body bellies carrying most of the island's air cargo. Volumes jumped to 11,175 tonnes in 2025, a rise of 29.3 percent, with imports up 30.5 percent and exports up 26.3 percent. The airport is the sole commercial gateway of the French overseas department, sitting at Le Lamentin near the capital Fort-de-France, and dates from 1950; it was renamed in 2007 after the Martinican poet and politician Aimé Césaire. Because Martinique forms part of France and the EU customs territory, clearance is handled by the French Douane, supported by a bonded warehouse and a transit zone. The cargo terminal covers roughly 9,400 square metres and is rated for 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes a year, with two buildings offering cold rooms and secure storage, plus a Boeing 747 freighter dock, outsized and heavy-lift handling and an express courier centre. Typical traffic is perishables, pharmaceuticals and express parcels; the island's signature banana exports move mainly by sea through the adjacent port of Fort-de-France. On-site veterinary and health inspection, including fresh-meat control, lets sensitive food imports clear directly at the terminal. Road links via the island expressway connect the airport to Fort-de-France, Martinique has no rail network, and Pointe-à-Pitre (PTP) in Guadeloupe or Paris-Orly (ORY) serve as routing alternatives.
