History
Air Corsica was established in Corsica in 1989 under the name Compagnie Corse Méditerranée. Its creation was linked to the need for better air connectivity between Corsica and mainland France, and its business has remained centered on passenger services connecting the island with the French mainland. As tourism and resident travel patterns evolved, the airline adjusted and expanded its network, including selected services to other European destinations. Around 2010, it adopted the Air Corsica brand name to strengthen its identity as a Corsica-based regional airline. It continues to operate with a regional-airline positioning, adapting routes, frequencies, and seasonal services to market demand and relevant public-service arrangements. Detailed claims about its historical ownership, management, and fleet development are omitted because sufficiently reliable supporting material is not available here.
