History

The airline began operations in December 2002 owned by Air Guyane, which itself used to be a subsidiary of Guadeloupean group CAIRE. It is another brand name for Air Guyane Express's Caribbean operations and both airlines share their call sign, IATA and ICAO codes. The airline uses as its Airline Reservations System Zenith, developed by Travel Technology Interactive, a French-based company. In 2016, the airline changed its name to Air Antilles and introduced a new livery with the delivery of its first ATR 72-600. In September 2023, the group CAIRE of which both Air Antilles and Air Guyane were a part of was terminated. Air Antilles was set to be brought up by a public-private partnership, while Air Guyane was to be liquidated. Air Antilles is said to resume the selling of tickets online in May 2024, with a reduced service, instead only serving Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin. However, there are still plans for their full service to swing back into action in the upcoming year.
