Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport () is French Guiana's main international airport. It is located in the commune of Matoury, southwest of French Guiana's capital city of Cayenne. Its management is provided by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of French Guyana. Air Guyane Express has its head office on the airport property.〔"Directory: World airlines." ''Flight International''. 16–22 March 2004. (65 ).〕 == History == The airfield of Cayenne was built in 1943 in 10 months by the American army who wanted to be able to reach Africa when flying there with its bombers. Very close to the aerodrome, one can find the former airfield "Gallion", used in 1943 and then quickly abandoned when using the new airport. The name of Rochambeau is first attributed in reference Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French troops who participated in the American Revolutionary War.〔http://www.guyane.cci.fr/fr/aeroport〕 It was purchased by France in 1949. The name of Rochambeau creates controversy because of the bad reputation of the son of the dedicatee of the airport, Donatien-Marie-Joseph de Vimeur, vicomte de Rochambeau who during the Saint-Domingue expedition harshly repressed the Haitian Revolution. Member of Guyana Christiane Taubira request a change of name in 1999. After the proposal of Cépérou (Indian chief of the 17th century), it was finally renamed in 2012 to the name of Félix Éboué which is retained and change became official in January 2012.〔order of 4 January 2012, J.O. 8 January 2012, NOR TRAA1200009A, http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000025114748〕 The code for the airport remains CAY. In 2009, passenger traffic totaled 400,025 passengers (+3.9%) compared to 2008 with 385,142 passengers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
