Aircalin

The announcement coincided with the airline’s first direct flight from Paris to New Caledonia’s capital Noumea, via Bangkok.

Aircalin will gradually resume some of its long- and medium-haul flights, following unrest in the French Pacific Ocean archipelago.

Unrest in New Caledonia, a French territory in the Pacific Ocean, has led to flight cancellations by commercial airlines.

The carrier is exploring acquiring a third long-haul widebody to add capacity.
