La Désirade Airport is a small public airfield on the south coast of La Désirade, the easternmost island of the Guadeloupe archipelago in the French Antilles. It offers a single paved runway with water off both ends and rising terrain to the northeast, making it a distinctive short-field destination for visiting pilots.
La Désirade Airport serves La Désirade, a small island lying to the east of the main Guadeloupe landmass. It is a modest public aerodrome with a single runway, built to serve the island's limited air links, and its setting - hemmed in by the sea at both ends and by high ground inland - gives it a character that will interest visiting VFR pilots.
The airport sits on the south shore of La Désirade, with water immediately off both runway ends and high terrain rising to the northeast of the field. It lies within Guadeloupe's airspace in the French Antilles, to the east of the main island of Guadeloupe.
La Désirade Airport has a single physical runway, 09/27, measuring 1,988 feet in length with a hard surface and runway lighting. There is no ILS approach available.
No air-ground or air traffic control frequency is published for La Désirade Airport.
The runway's position on the south shore, with the sea close off both thresholds and higher ground to the northeast, serves as the principal visual cue for locating and joining at the field.
La Désirade Airport continues to serve as the small public airfield for La Désirade island, with its single lit asphalt runway remaining the only means of air access to the island.
