Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport or Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet Airport (French: Aérodrome de Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet or Aéroport Guadeloupe Pôle Caraïbes "Caribbean Hub") (IATA: PTP, ICAO: TFFR)

Is an airport serving Pointe-à-Pitre on the island of Grande-Terre in Guadeloupe. The airport is located in Abymes, 2.4 km (1.3 NM) north-northeast of Pointe-à-Pitre. It is the main hub for Air Caraïbes and Air Antilles Express.Air France has also two Airbus A320 based in Point-à-Pitre for regional flights. It is the largest of the six airports in the archipelago. In 2008, the airport handled between 2 and 2.5 million passengers, it is the second busiest airport in the Lesser Antilles after Grantley Adams International Airport.

The airport resides at an elevation of 35 ft (11 m) above mean sea level. It has one paved runway designated 12/30 which measures 3,125 m × 45 m (10,253 ft × 148 ft).

Runway 12/30 is long enough allowing aircraft as large as the A380 to take off and land without difficulty. The airport was also one of the first to handle the first A380 prototype in the 2nd week of January 2006, for 2 days. The same year, the airport celebrated its 40th anniversary.

At one time, Air Guadeloupe had its head office on the airport property

Pricey for an airport of this size, this scenery features a well modelled main terminal and surrounding area. Well done on that. Unfortunately, the rest of the airport is far from this level of quality. You'll see low res aerial imagery right next to all secondary aprons, most of them showing flat cars and objects, clearly visible from nearby aircraft parking spots. Unfortunately, none of these areas are shown on the product page. So parts of the airport feel very much rushed. There's a construction site next to one apron that is completely flat, featuring only a perimeter fence running over a flat truck. Then there is another big construction site featuring some buildings and equipment and materials, however the mounds placed do not match the colour of the base imagery, so it has a very artificial feel to it. Complemented by 3D objects hovering over the ground. Also the airport perimeter fence is hovering in the air in most areas I've checked. And then you can also spot the dreadful default airport beacon tower with it's overly bright light during daytime. So you get a very well modelled main terminal complex supplemented by mediocre rushed modelling everywhere else. There's competitors providing airports with a consistently high quality in all areas for less money but bigger airports. So I feel this is not a good value for money. T2G need to step up their game if they want to shine in MSFS and sell at these prices.
