Airport Management Services

What Airport Management Services does

Airport Management Services (AMS) is a privately-held SARL founded in 2008 and headquartered at Martinique Aimé Césaire airport, with a secondary base at Guadeloupe Maryse Condé airport. The company provides comprehensive airport ground handling — including passenger assistance, ramp operations, baggage handling, marshalling, fuelling coordination, catering, cleaning, and flight supervision — for commercial, charter, private, and official flights. It also acts as General Sales Agent (GSA) for airlines, commercialising their routes through on-airport ticket offices and a network of 152 partner agents across the Caribbean. Specialised offerings include the La Conciergerie Meet & Greet VIP service, private jet charter via a technical partnership with IBC Aviation, medical evacuation (Evasan) flights operational since 2008, and high-value cargo transport.

The business operates without proprietary technology, generating revenue through professional-service fees, transaction commissions on GSA ticket sales, and charter mark-ups. The company reports 630 aircraft movements per year and a qualitative 275,000-smiles-per-year passenger satisfaction metric, while operating with a 15-person team under Managing Director Julie Courbier. AMS combines B2B direct sales to airlines with B2B2C distribution via travel agencies, hoteliers, cruiselines, and official delegations, and B2C services for VIP travelers. Recent strategic moves include the December 2025 launch of La Conciergerie Meet & Greet and the April 2026 appointment as GSA for Liat Air's Guadeloupe operations, signalling a deliberate shift toward higher-margin premium and representation services while the core ground handling franchise remains the operational backbone.
