For travelers leaving Paris for St. Martin / St. Maarten, another nonstop option is locking in: Air Caraïbes resumes Paris Orly - Princess Juliana (SXM) from October 15, 2026, in time for the late-October school break. The route will be flown with the Airbus A350-900, which the airline already operated into this demanding runway in spring 2026.
In winter, the plan is two weekly flights, on Mondays and Thursdays. The carrier also aims for year-round service (at least one weekly flight outside peak season). On board: a three-cabin 389-seat layout (18 Madras business flat beds, 45 Caraïbes premium, 326 Soleil economy). Soleil one-way fares from Orly were communicated around €350 including tax.
For guests, that means a newer long-haul jet than the A330-200 used when the route returned in December 2025, plus connections toward St. Barthélemy and the regional network via Winair. Arrivals remain at SXM, with the familiar low approach over Maho Beach. Bookings are on aircaraibes.com.
