Corsair International navigates a unique operational space within the aviation industry, occupying a position neither as a full-service network carrier nor a low-cost airline. The French airline, headquartered in Rungis, Paris, operates primarily out of Paris Orly Airport. It flies to a range of destinations with a fleet of 9 Airbus A330-900 jets, focusing largely on long-haul leisure travel to Francophone regions.
The airline's ownership structure includes a majority stake by the German investment group Intro Aviation and a significant share held by the TUI Group. Corsair's remaining shares are owned by private investors.
Despite being established in 1981, Corsair has maintained a relatively low profile and is not widely recognized in regions such as North America. The airline originally operated under different names, including Corsairfly, before adopting its current brand. It serves 15 destinations and has narrowed its focus from past extensive operations in North America to specific markets in Africa, French overseas territories, and select leisure spots.
