The company was founded on January 1, 1989, on the initiative of the President of the Regional Assembly of Corsica Pierre Philippe Ceccaldi to improve flight connections from and to the island. Its first flight took place in June 1990 and schedules were started on 1 July with a fleet of
ATR 72-600. Initial prospects were accompanied by growing success and the company found itself having to order jetliners such as the Fokker
F28. In November 2000 the brand name
CCM Airlines started to be used, leading to a full name change to
Air Corsica in October 2010. At the same time, two
Airbus A319s and two
Airbus A320s had entered the fleet. In December 2019, with the arrival of its first
Airbus A320neo, Air Corsica became the first French operator of the A320neo. Air Corsica operates certain flights as a franchise for
Air France and
ITA Airways. Air Corsica outsources its
passenger service system, which manages reservations, inventory and pricing to
Amadeus using the Altéa system. ==Destinations==
