The island’s Aim Cesaire Airport carried 73,590 total passenger in June, up from 28,286 passengers in June 2020.

That also represented a 46.5 percent decline compared to the same period in 2019, in line with numbers from a number of Caribbean destinations.

Martinique is now officially open to U.S. travelers — all of whom must present proof of e negative PCR test taken and received within 72 hours and be fully vaccinated.

Nonstop flights from the U.S. to Martinique relaunch on American Airlines in early November.
