Airlinair

Airlinair was a French regional airline founded in 1998. It focused on connecting smaller airports in France and nearby European markets, operating mainly turboprop aircraft, particularly ATR aircraft. The company both operated routes under its own name and provided regional services connected with larger airline networks. As Air France consolidated its regional airline activities, Airlinair was brought into the HOP! structure alongside Brit Air and Régional. Airlinair subsequently ceased operating as an independent brand, with its activities integrated into the HOP! network.

Airlinair was established in France in 1998 as a regional airline focused on short- and medium-haul connectivity. Its operations were centered on ATR and other turboprop aircraft, allowing it to serve smaller airports and routes with lower demand than those typically operated by mainline jet aircraft. The airline operated some services under its own identity and also participated in regional capacity arrangements connected with larger airline networks. During the consolidation of Air France’s regional airline activities, Airlinair was combined with other French regional carriers, including Brit Air and Régional, within the HOP! structure. Airlinair subsequently lost its independent market identity, and its operations were integrated into HOP!, ending the brand’s independent operation.
