Guadeloupe – Maryse Condé International Airport (PTP)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Guadeloupe – Maryse Condé International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at PTP

Guadeloupe – Maryse Condé International Airport is connected to Pointe-à-Pitre and the wider Guadeloupe transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Sources conflict directly: one guide describes routes AE1 and AE3 connecting to the public network (roughly 6am–7pm, reduced on weekends, about 30 minutes to the city centre, €1.20 one-way), while a separate source states flatly that there is no public transport to or from the airport. This could not be independently resolved — the route-numbered source is more specific and more recently dated, but confirm locally before relying on it.

Taxi

Available 24 hours in the ground transport area; meter use is not guaranteed and fares are described as fairly high — agree a price in advance.

Car Rental

An unusually long confirmed list, all in an annex building: ADA, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Flizzr, Interrent, Jumbo Car, Rent-A-Car, Sixt and Thrifty.

Insider tip

Given the conflicting public-bus information, a taxi with an agreed price in advance is the safer bet over counting on a bus.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Guadeloupe – Maryse Condé International Airport website before travel.
