This June 15, 2024, the Olympic Flame will arrive in Pointe-à-Pitre, aboard a racing multihull, the Maxi Banque Populaire XI, after crossing the Atlantic with a prestigious crew. 

The Flame will begin its route on the island at the ACTe Memorial, a cultural and historical site that retraces the painful history of the slave trade and slavery. 
This first itinerary leads to the Palais des Sports in Le Gosier.

From there, it's on to Saint-François, to the Pointe des Châteaux, Guadeloupe's most visited site, offering incredible views of the surrounding islands. 

The next stops will be in Le Moule, then at the CREPS de Guadeloupe, an establishment of excellence that brings together the region's most promising young athletes. The Flamme Olympique then heads for Petit-Bourg.

It will then head for Saint-Claude and Basse-Terre. 

It will also reach the Saintes archipelago before returning to the main island.

Baie-Mahault will welcome the Olympic Flame in the late afternoon. After a walk through Baie-Mahault, the Flamme Olympique will end its journey at the Vélodrome Amédée Detraux. 
It is in this stadium, the largest in Guadeloupe, that the cauldron will be lit at the end of the evening.

Among the torchbearers on the Guadeloupe stage will be :
Raymonde Nebot (Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 Games),Yann Jacques (para sport), 
Frédérique Merlin (basketball, lifesaving sports and teacher), 
Angelio Courtois (technical director in a Judo club and high-level champion himself), Hugo Thelier (traditional sailing, windsurfing, trainer at the Pôle Espoirs), 
Nicole Tripoli (former basketball player and president of the "Lupus Guadeloupe" association), Patrice Palmont (world triathlon and Ironman champion),

In 2023, 7953 flights were operated carrying 40169 passengers, including :

• 4056 regular flights for 28176 regular passengers transported (with more flights at Grand Case Esperance Airport (SFG) than at Princess Juliana (SXM)

St Barth Commuter just received the ISSA (IATA Standard Safety Assessment) certification issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This assessment of the operational and management control system is an extension of the IOSA certification for aircraft under 5.7t, such as the Cessna Grand Caravan - C208B that we operate.

St Barth Commuter becomes the 12th company in the world and the first European EASA operator to obtain this certification.

This particular aircraft, compared to the ones we already have, is equipped with the latest evolution of software for the on-board avionics. The G1000 Nxi. It brings new features in terms of flight safety and navigation.

The delivery of an aircraft is always a rather heavy and intense process:
- The detailed aircraft examination stage, the ground check, the aircraft inspection, the acceptance flight and the documentary inspection were completed on June 20, 2022

- The closing and signatures were performed on June 21, 2022

Then comes the American registration N3003U for the convoying from Indepenence to Wichita, Wichita to Meridian, Meridian to Fort Lauderdale then Providenciales and finally St Barth. This represents more than 13 hours of flight in several stages over 2 days.

Currently the plane is in the process of being registered in France and we hope to have it online in August 2022.

Our company emphasizes the proximity with young people and their training.

Thus, 2 mechanics are in apprenticeship since 2020 and 2021.

In addition, our teams have been reinforced and will continue to be reinforced during the school vacation periods for positions such as baggage handlers/ground operations and reservation/administrative services, as well as for internships and summer student jobs.

St Barth Commuter also took part in the job forum organized at the Mireille Choisy high school in St Barthélemy in order to promote the air transport industry and to encourage young people on the island to take up the profession!
