New Caledonia’s wings in the Pacific : A STRONG FOOTHOLD IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC REGION…
As an international airline, Aircalin contributes to the development of tourism in New Caledonia, as well as cultural, and commercial exchanges. The company fosters links with the countries of the region and contributes to the opening-up of the region to Asia and Europe.
Australia/New Zealand
The proximity of these two major regional economic players demands an efficient service. The company’s flights link Noumea with Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland. These routes account for nearly 40% of Aircalin’s traffic.
Vanuatu/Fiji
Relationships with these Melanesian countries are natural and long-standing. The airline’s network includes Port Vila and Nandi. Aircalin is also a member of ASPA (Association of South Pacific Airlines), whose mission is to promote cooperation between South Pacific countries.

… ANS LONG-HAUL FLIGHTS TO ASIA AND EUROPE
A service to Paris
Opening in December 2024, the direct Noumea-Paris route via Bangkok is the realization of a long-standing project. Serving the capital, and through it access to other European capitals, is in line with Aircalin’s mission to be a strategic development tool for New Caledonia.
Bangkok
Aircalin has been offering direct service to Bangkok from Paris or Nouméa since December 2024. Halfway along the Noumea-Paris route, Bangkok is both a new destination for Caledonians and a new option from Paris for direct flights to the Thai capital, as a final destination or for a stopover before continuing on to New Caledonia or France.
Singapore and South-East Asia
Opened in July 2022, the Noumea-Singapore route has enabled Aircalin to forge a number of partnerships with airlines operating from this major hub, ensuring the most efficient access to/from all of South-East Asia, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and India; and also to France through commercial agreements with Air France and Singapore Airlines, which guarantee a stable service all year round via Singapore.
