Who would have bet that a Vendée family group would become one of the pillars of French aviation? Yet, the Dubreuil group has made its two airlines, Air Caraïbes and French Bee, essential players in aviation. Through innovation, bold strategy, and ecological awareness, here’s how they are shaking up the rules of the game.
🛫 A smooth departure, a rapid ascent
It all began in the 2000s with the creation of Air Caraïbes, designed to connect the mainland to the French West Indies. The goal: to offer direct, comfortable, and affordable flights. Mission accomplished, with continuous growth and a loyal customer base, charmed by personalized services – especially in Business Class.
Then, in 2016, the group created French Bee, the first French long-haul low-cost airline. A risky bet in a saturated market… but a winning one!
🚀 The keys to success: eco-fleet and shock pricing
The two companies have successfully innovated at every step:
- ✈️ Modern fleet with Airbus A350
- 🌱 Eco-responsible commitment
- 💰 Ultra-competitive prices
- 📲 Impactful digital communication
- 🌍 Strategic destination network (USA, Caribbean, Indian Ocean)
French Bee, in particular, attracts a young, mobile clientele, sensitive to its reduced carbon footprint. Its flights to New York, San Francisco, or Fort-de-France are fully booked!
📊 Numbers that are dizzying
| Year | Revenue (€M) | Passengers |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 350 | 1.2 M |
| 2020 | 280 (COVID) | 950,000 |
| 2022 | 450 | 1.5 M |
And it’s not over. The Dubreuil group is now ranked number 2 in the French aviation sector, just behind Air France. And it has no plans to stop there.
💡 Facing the giants: innovate to stay in the race
