Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport or Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet Airport (French: link=no|Aérodrome de Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet or Aéroport Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes "Caribbean Hub") is an international airport serving Pointe-à-Pitre on the island of Grande-Terre in Guadeloupe, France.
The airport is located in Abymes, 2.4abbr=onNaNabbr=on north-northeast of Pointe-à-Pitre. It is the main hub for Air Caraïbes and Air Antilles Express. Air France also has two Airbus A320 based in Pointe-à-Pitre for regional flights. It is the largest of the six airports in the archipelago. In 2019, the airport handled 2,488,782 passengers; it is the second busiest airport in the Lesser Antilles after Queen Beatrix International Airport located in Aruba, and before Grantley Adams International Airport located in Barbados.
