Here is comprehensive information about APG Airlines (ICAO: RIV).
APG Airlines is a French regional carrier established in 2015 by the APG Network, a global leader in airline commercial and distribution services. The airline serves as an operational platform for its parent company's interline solutions, allowing travel agents to issue tickets for various airlines using APG Airlines as the validating carrier.
The airline's main operational base is at Toulouse–Blagnac Airport (TLS) in France. APG Airlines primarily operates scheduled flights connecting Toulouse and Lorient, France, several times a week. Additionally, it offers VIP charter flights. The fleet consists of a single 8-seater Beech 350i bi-turboprop aircraft, sometimes referred to as a Beech 200 Super King Air propeller airplane.
APG Airlines is not a member of any of the major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. However, it is a member of IATA and sits on the board of the European Regions Airline Association (ERA). The airline plays a crucial role in the APG Interline Solution (APG IET), a product that facilitates interline agreements for over 100 to 150 airline partners globally. Notable services include a VIP service with French style on its flights and available web check-in. For tickets issued through its A1 or Z1 codes, it offers a flexible one free change policy, lost baggage protection through Blue Ribbon Bags, and a Total Security Package.
Traveler reviews for APG Airlines are relatively limited, reflecting its niche operation as a small regional carrier and a platform for interline ticketing. However, available feedback generally indicates a positive experience.

The airline maintains an excellent safety record, with no notable incidents publicly reported. APG Airlines holds a French Air Operator Certificate (AOC), indicating it meets the operational and safety standards set by French aviation authorities.
