Île Tintamarre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Île Tintamarre, also known as Flat Island, is a small island with an area of approximately 0.8 square kilometres (0.3 sq mi).[1] It is located in the Caribbean Sea, about 3 kilometres (2 mi) from the island of Saint Martin, and is administered as part of the French overseas collectivity of Saint Martin.[2][3] The island has no human occupants, but has been inhabited in the past. Between 1946 and 1950, it was the base for a former airline, Compagnie Aérienne Antillaise, which flew planes from the island's 500-metre (1,600 ft) airstrip.[1][2][4]
