Aviation & Connectivity: Air France is keeping an unusual Miami–Pointe-à-Pitre link running with its Airbus A320, part of an island-hopping network that reaches Martinique and French Guiana and then continues to Brazil, with the Miami route now flying direct after security issues and an FAA ban led to suspending the Port-au-Prince stop. Regional Travel Deal: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes have signed an interline agreement so passengers can book on one ticket across both networks, with through-checked baggage—connecting Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana to LIAT’s wider Eastern Caribbean routes and onward to Paris Orly. Local Disruption: Ferry services to Dominica are disrupted after a fishermen’s strike in Guadeloupe blocked the port of Pointe-à-Pitre, leaving passengers to be accommodated by operators. Health & Environment: A delegation from nine OECS states is visiting Martinique and Guadeloupe to study sargassum management, including turning seaweed into value-added products, as recurring invasions hit ecosystems, public health and local economies. Justice & Governance: France’s National Assembly voted unanimously to repeal the Code Noir (Black Code), a slavery-era law that treated enslaved people as property—an important symbolic step that still needs Senate approval. Public Health Risk: French health authorities report 92 imported mosquito-borne cases in mainland France in May, with many linked to overseas territories including Guadeloupe and Martinique. Legal Training: The OHADAC–CARO Regional Arbitration Centre will launch training on arbitration and ADR in the Eastern Caribbean, aiming to strengthen access to economic justice for businesses and investors.
