French airline connecting Europe and North Africa.

Founded
1946
Headquarters
Massy, France
Aigle Azur was a French airline founded in 1946, making it one of the oldest airlines in France. It primarily operated scheduled and charter flights between France and destinations in North Africa, particularly Algeria, as well as routes to Portugal, Brazil, and other international destinations. The airline was headquartered at Paris Orly Airport and served a significant French-Algerian diaspora community. It was a major competitor to Air Algérie on Franco-Algerian routes and at its peak operated a fleet of Airbus narrowbody aircraft. Aigle Azur ceased operations in September 2019 after filing for bankruptcy, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. The airline's collapse was attributed to financial difficulties, mounting debts, and failed rescue attempts by potential buyers.
