Passengers were left stranded when the international airport on the Caribbean island of Martinique was forced to close amid unrest over the cost of living in the French territory.
Dozens of protesters stormed the runway at the capital’s Fort-de-France airport on Thursday, forcing it to close. Inbound flights were diverted to nearby Guadeloupe, also a French territory. The airport reopened on Friday.
The curfew was imposed until at least Monday after a wave of violent protests.
The authorities have banned mass gatherings, as well as the purchase of items that can be used for arson.
