Corsairfly, commonly known as Corsair International, is a French leisure airline specializing in long-haul flights to holiday destinations. Founded in 1981, the carrier has historically served routes from France to the Caribbean, Indian Ocean islands, West Africa, and North America, catering primarily to leisure travelers and the French overseas territories market.
The airline has undergone several ownership changes over the years, including periods under TUI and later Intro Aviation. Despite financial turbulence, Corsair has continued operations and pursued fleet modernization efforts. The airline rebranded from Corsairfly back to Corsair International around 2013.
Corsair operates primarily from Paris-Orly Airport and positions itself as a key carrier for travelers heading to French overseas territories such as Martinique, Guadeloupe, Reunion, and French Guiana. Its focus on leisure and ethnic traffic markets distinguishes it from full-service network carriers.
