## Description

Air France, Corsair and French Bee anchor the long-haul schedule that links this Martinique field to mainland France, their wide-body bellies carrying most of the island's air cargo alongside dedicated freighter capacity. The airport is the sole commercial gateway of the French overseas department, sitting at Le Lamentin near the capital Fort-de-France. Because Martinique is part of France and the EU customs territory, clearance is handled by the French Douane, supported by a bonded warehouse and a transit zone. Freight infrastructure includes a Boeing 747 freighter dock, heated and refrigerated storage, handling for outsized and heavy consignments, 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, one of the eastern Caribbean's notable container terminals. 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, while Martinique has no rail network. For freight forwarders, FDF is the dependable air bridge for time-critical goods to and from a French market set in the Caribbean.
