An entirely renewed fleet by 2024

Corsair wishes to actively and concretely participate in the energy transition of the airline sector. In this regard, and despite the crisis, Corsair has pursued its fleet renewal programme and is acquiring Airbus A330neo, the latest generation of more environmentally-friendly aircraft.

The cabins are composed of 3 classes (business, premium and economy) for a total of 352 passengers (20 seats in Business, 21 in Premium and 311 in Economy, including 33 Eco+ seats). Passengers will enjoy calm travel during all flight phases, thanks to a cabin with the lowest noise level in its category. For even more comfort, Corsair is adding noise- and light-reducing curtains, installed along all the galleys. These Neo aircraft boast modern cabins, with on-board wi-fi connection throughout the entire flight, via 4 packages to meet the connection needs of every passenger. Passengers can also expect an in-flight entertainment service with a wide range of options. More than 100 films and series, music albums, playlists, radios, games and children’s programmes will allow passengers to get the most out of their flight.

In 2024, Corsair will have completed the renewal of its entire fleet, making it one of the most recent on the market.

Pascal de Izaguirre, Corsair CEO: ‘Our aim is to offer people living in Bordeaux and Nouvelle-Aquitaine direct access to French overseas destinations. We’re going to facilitate the growth of tourist, family and business exchanges between overseas territories and the largest region in France. We have every confidence in the popularity of this route, the opening weeks of sales have already been highly successful!’

Simon Dreschel, Chairman of the Management Board of Bordeaux Airport: ‘The arrival of Corsair and this new scheduled route to a French overseas department opens a range of possibilities for the region. This link between Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Guadeloupe is a fantastic opportunity to develop exchanges between the French Caribbean and our region, which boasts one of the largest Caribbean communities in France, and to strengthen numerous cultural ties.
