Regional Aviation & Tourism: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes have signed an interline agreement taking effect June 1, letting passengers book one ticket across both networks with through-checked baggage—linking Air Caraïbes services from Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana to LIAT’s Eastern Caribbean routes and onward connections to Paris-Orly. Local Connectivity Pressure: In St. Kitts and Nevis, Tourism Minister Marsha Henderson says Caribbean Airlines’ withdrawal from the route was announced without consulting the government, while officials move to secure an alternative carrier to protect regional links. Justice & History in France: France’s National Assembly voted 254-0 to repeal the slavery-era Code Noir, a 1685 decree that treated enslaved people as “movable property”; the move is largely symbolic but comes with a requirement for reporting on colonial law’s lasting effects, with the Senate still to approve. Disaster Readiness: “Operation Caraïbes 26” continues until June 4, training multinational forces for disaster response in a simulated major cyclone scenario, with RSMA units from Martinique and Guadeloupe placed under the Armed Forces in the Antilles command. Health Watch: French authorities reported 92 imported mosquito-borne cases in May (mostly dengue), urging vigilance as the tiger mosquito is active across many departments.
