Île Tintamarre, also known as Flat Island, is a small island with an area of approximately 0.8 square kilometres (0.3 sq mi). 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. 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.
