Warning

Flight disruptions and increased security measures are likely at Martinique Aime Cesaire International Airport (FDF) in Fort-de-France on Oct. 10 amid ongoing clashes between security forces and demonstrators. Protesters reportedly breached the perimeter and entered the runway to prevent the arrival of anti-riot police forces. The incident temporarily halted flight operations and led to an Air Caraibe (TX) flight being diverted to Guadalupe.

Flight disruptions, including cancelations, delays, and diversions, are likely over the coming hours. Associated transport and business disruptions are probable near FDF. Further related well-attended protests, clashes, and arrests are possible over the coming hours and days.

Avoid all related protests as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Allow additional time for journeys in affected areas. Strictly follow all official directives. Reconfirm all flight reservations and do not check out of accommodation until onward travel is confirmed.
