CorsairflySS

Corsair International is a French long-haul leisure airline based near Paris with its operational hub at Paris Orly Airport (ORY). Founded in 1981 as Corse Air International, the airline has evolved from a Corsica-focused carrier into France's specialist for flights to the Caribbean, Indian Ocean territories, and West Africa.

The airline transports approximately 1.5 million passengers annually, connecting mainland France with French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion, Mayotte) and popular leisure destinations. Corsair operates one of Europe's youngest fleets, consisting entirely of Airbus A330neo aircraft following a comprehensive fleet renewal completed in early 2025.

Corsair is not part of any airline alliance but competes directly with Air France on routes to French overseas territories, often offering more competitive pricing for leisure travelers. Not to be confused with Air Corsica, which operates short-haul flights to Corsica.
