Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Martinique (FDF) uniquely blends European-standard long-haul operations with Caribbean regional aviation, offering dynamic gameplay with dual terminals, real-world airline liveries, and both passenger and cargo logistics.
With Saint Martin (SXM) already in-game, adding Martinique builds out the French Caribbean network, enabling realistic traffic patterns and strategic route management for players. The presence of A350s, 777s, ATRs, and low-cost carriers enhances fleet diversity, while cargo adds another operational layer.
