Air France and Air Caraïbes have announced expansions to their Caribbean flight programs for the 2026-2027 season. Air France plans to deploy the Airbus A350-900 on routes from Saint-Martin to Paris-Charles de Gaulle starting February 1, 2027, offering up to 14 weekly flights.

Air Caraïbes is also increasing capacity from Paris-Orly to several destinations, including Pointe-à-Pitre, Fort-de-France, and Cayenne. The airline will resume service to Saint-Martin on October 15, 2026, and transition its Punta Cana service to a daily frequency by December 12, 2026. 

In addition to network growth, Air Caraïbes is undergoing a strategic rebranding under a new “Neo Caribéen” identity. This new visual signature aims to present a contemporary and vibrant image of the Caribbean, moving away from traditional clichés to reflect the company’s cultural roots.
