Air Caraibes and Corsairfly Begin Codeshare

Air Caraibes and Corsairfly are offering a reciprocal codeshare arrangement on selected flights between Paris and St Maarten. This covers Corsairfly’s twice weekly flights from Paris Orly via Fort-de-France and Pointe-a-Pitre and Air Caraibes weekly flight via Fort-de-France, although either carrier has local traffic rights between the Caribbean destinations.

An estimated 123,000 O&D passengers travelled between Paris and St Maarten in the last year, the majority (57.7 per cent) using the direct services of Air France from Paris CDG. However, around 51,000 flew from Paris Orly, of these 64 per cent using the services of Corsairfly and 36 per cent Air Caraibes. There is an interesting divide in the average fares on the routes with Corsairfly passengers paying an average of $922 each way, with Air France and Air Caraibes passengers just $664 and $641.
