Air Canada is coming back to Martinique starting October 30th, following several months of interruption of service due to the pandemic.

A direct weekly flight from Montreal (YUL) will be operated to resume service to Martinique with a two-class B737 aircraft of 169 seats, all equipped with individual touch-sensitive screens that grant access to a full entertainment system, including movies, documentaries, music, and games.

Air service to Fort-de-France will be provided in strict accordance with sanitary measures, to ensure the safest stay in the Isle of Flowers.

A sanitary protocol applied with care

Visitors must expect obligations depending on their vaccinal status and provenance. People with a complete vaccinal scheme must apply for a French vaccinal passport (demarches-simplifiees.fr) and and will not be subject to any travel restrictions while arriving to Martinique.

Non-vaccinated people or with an uncomplete vaccinal scheme must comply with the following obligations:

• Negative PCR test (72 hours or less) or negative antigen test (48 hours or less) prior boarding
• Compelling reason (personal, professional, family, sanitary and/or urgent matter)
• 7-days of self isolation when arriving and mandatory COVID test after

On the other hand, Air Canada implemented its CleanCare+ program in May 2020 that settled new biosecurity rules to allow passengers and crew to travel in a safe environment:

• Customer face-coverings and employee Personal Protective Equipment now mandatory
• Personal care kits containing disinfectant and safety items
• Electrostatic cabin spraying to reinforce aircraft grooming protocols
• Revised food product minimizing crew and passenger contact

These protocols will ensure the safe transportation of the travellers from Canada and allow the next intensification of airline service to Martinique this winter.

A gradual and necessary recovery

Named top emerging destination in the world by TripAdvisor in 2021 and recognized twice by UNESCO, Martinique is on top of Canadians’ travel wish list. Air Canada supports the growing appeal of the Isle of Flowers by increasing gradually its rotations to Martinique: starting in December, Canada’s biggest airline carrier will implement up to five non-stop flights per week from Montreal to Fort-de-France.

The island will hope from this resumption of service with Air Canada the recovery of its three weekly direct flights all year long from Montreal to Martinique.
