Dark/Light Mode (25/01/23) Air France continues to expand its regional Caribbean network that links overseas French territories.
Two Air France Airbus A320s, based in Pointe-à-Pitre, fly year round between Pointe-à-Pitre, Fort-de-France, Cayenne and Miami, for up to 23 flights per week.
On 5 May 2023, the airline will introduce a weekly direct flight between Cayenne (French Guiana) and Belém (Brazil) – the city of mango trees.
The flight will take off from Pointe-à-Pitre and fly to Fort-de-France, Cayenne and then Belem, allowing customers from Guadeloupe and Martinique to also travel to Brazil without having to make a connection.

The airline will operate the flight with Wi-Fi-equipped Airbus A320 aircraft with a capacity of 168 seats – 12 in Business Class and 156 in Economy Class.
On Fridays, AF602 is scheduled to leave Cayenne at 15:40, arriving in Belém at 17:15.
On Saturdays, AF603 is timed to depart from Belém at 09:35 and arriv in Cayenne at 11:10.
Capital city of the state of Pará, Belém is strategically located at the mouth of the Amazon and near the Atlantic Ocean. It is the second most populous city in northern Brazil and is renowned for its mango trees and the Mercado Ver-o-Peso, one of the largest open-air markets in Latin America since 1625. Large 19th century villas dating back to Brazil’s Belle Époque and rubber boom give the city its unique charm.
Scheduling Changes to Pointe-à-Pitre – Miami
From 30 March 2023, Air France will change the schedule of its Pointe-à-Pitre – Miami service to allow customers from Fort-de-France and Cayenne to travel to Florida.
There will be two weekly flights, using 168-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.
AF616 is slated to leave Pointe-à-Pitre at 16:30 and arrive in Miami at 19:55, on Thursday and Saturdays. While AF617 is scheduled to depart from Miami at 09:55, arriving in Pointe-à-Pitre at 13:10, on Fridays and Sundays.
The flight schedules are subject to change and pending the necessary governmental approvals.
