The airlines Air Caraibes and French Bee, members of the Dubreuil Group, strive to offer increased flexibility to their customers by increasing the number of destinations in the Caribbean and the American continent. This desire is reflected in the strengthening of existing lines and the opening of new ones. These initiatives meet the growing expectations of travelers while providing them with an enhanced experience.
Air Caraibes steps up its routes to the Caribbean and Central America
For the 2024-2025 winter season, Air Caraibes is consolidating its presence in the Caribbean and Central America. The company is thus increasing the frequency of its flights on certain lines, such as the Paris-Orly / Pointe-à-Pitre connection, now operated by 20 flights per week, or 2 more than in 2023. Likewise, flights between Paris -Orly and Fort-de-France benefit from 2 additional frequencies, totaling 17 weekly flights. The destinations of Cayenne, Punta Cana and Cancún will be served by 7, 7 and 3 flights per week respectively, all departing from Paris-Orly.
These increases in frequency result in a 10% capacity increase in winter towards Pointe-à-Pitre, with 25,000 additional seats, and 8% towards Fort-de-France, or 18,000 additional seats. This initiative strengthens Air Caraibes' foothold in the Antilles and supports the regional economy.
French Bee increases its flights and announces a new route to Canada
The first French low-cost company specializing in long-haul travel, French Bee is also continuing its expansion by increasing the frequency of its existing flights, particularly to Reunion Island. It thus increases from 11 to 13 flights per week between Paris-Orly and Reunion, representing an increase in capacity of 13%.
Concerning the United States, the frequency remains stable with 7 flights per week to New York, 3 flights to San Francisco and Papeete and 4 flights to Miami, always departing from Paris-Orly.
In spring 2025, French Bee will open a new line to Montreal, Canada, from Paris, with 5 weekly flights. This strategic expansion aims to strengthen the company's international presence, while maintaining competitive prices and a service focused on travel essentials.
Christine Ourmières-Widener, president of Air Caraibes and French Bee, underlines the companies' commitment to offering flexibility and choice to their passengers. Air Caraibes, with 43,000 additional seats for the Antilles-Guyana, thus strengthens its service in the region. As for French Bee, the presidency announces a promising summer season with increased capacity to the United States and Reunion, adding 21,000 seats compared to previous years, thus reaching a market share of 25% on the island.
