Fleet












Air Caraibes (IATA: TX, ICAO: FWI) has served the Caribbean since its establishment in 1969, evolving into a key regional carrier based in Guadeloupe. The airline operates from its primary hub at Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport, which anchors its network of inter-island and regional routes linking French Caribbean territories and neighboring islands.
The airline is known for bridging island communities across the Caribbean, offering essential connectivity for both leisure and business travelers. Its route network reflects its regional focus, with particular emphasis on serving smaller island airports that are vital to Caribbean mobility and tourism.
Air Caraibes operates a modern, mixed fleet comprising wide-body and regional aircraft. The Airbus A330 and A350 handle longer regional routes and international services, while the ATR 72 turboprop serves shorter, regional routes to smaller airports. This fleet composition enables the airline to optimize operations across varying route distances and airport capabilities in the Caribbean network.
