Island gateway serving Marie-Galante in the Caribbean.

Location
Grand-Bourg, Guadeloupe
Marie-Galante Airport, designated IATA code GBJ and ICAO code TFFM, serves the island of Marie-Galante, a dependency of Guadeloupe in the French Antilles. The airport is located near Grand-Bourg, the main town on the island, and provides essential air links to the nearby islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. The airport handles light regional traffic and is served by small turboprop aircraft operating short inter-island routes. It plays a vital role in connecting Marie-Galante's roughly 10,000 residents and tourists to the wider Guadeloupe archipelago, supplementing the ferry services that also link the island to Pointe-à-Pitre. Given its small size and regional function, the airport has limited facilities but remains an important piece of infrastructure for the island's economy and accessibility.
