Chalair Aviation is a French regional airline, founded in 1986 and based at Caen-Carpiquet airport in Normandy. It offers scheduled flights to 14 cities in 3 different countries, including Lyon, Limoges and Paris.
The Chalair fleet’s mission is to connect regions that are often poorly served. Its ATR 72-500, with its 70 to 78-seat capacity, offers an ideal solution for regional routes, thanks to its ability to operate on shorter runways. The more compact and agile Beechcraft 1900D transports passengers and freight to more specific destinations. These aircraft enable Chalair to efficiently connect isolated areas, offering fast, reliable service even in the most inaccessible locations.
