About Air Corsica

Corse-Mediterranee Airlines (ICAO: CCM) is the former name of Air Corsica, the flag carrier of the French insular region of Corsica. The airline was initially founded as Compagnie Corse Méditerranée in 1989, later rebranded as CCM Airlines in 2000, and ultimately adopted the name Air Corsica in October 2010. Despite the name change, the ICAO code CCM remains associated with Air Corsica.

Air Corsica was established on January 1, 1989, by the Corsican Assembly with the primary goal of enhancing air transport links to the island of Corsica. It commenced operations in June 1990 as Compagnie Corse Méditerranée, then became CCM Airlines in 2000, before finally rebranding as Air Corsica in October 2010. The airline's head office is situated on the grounds of Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte Airport in Ajaccio, Corsica, which also serves as its main operational base. Additionally, it maintains hubs at Figari–Sud Corse Airport, Bastia – Poretta Airport, and Calvi – Sainte-Catherine Airport.

As of November 2025, Air Corsica operates a fleet of 11 to 13 aircraft. The fleet primarily consists of Airbus A320s (five aircraft with 180 seats) and ATR72-500s (six aircraft with 70 seats). The airline's route network focuses on passenger services connecting Corsica to continental France, serving 16 different airports through 30 annual and seasonal routes. While primarily domestic, Air Corsica also offers international connections, such as to Brussels South Charleroi Airport in Belgium. A close partnership exists with Air France, with several Air Corsica services being marketed by Air France, particularly for routes between Corsica and Paris-Orly and CDG. Air Corsica is also a participant in the Flying Blue frequent-flyer program. The airline emphasizes offering accessible fares coupled with free, high-quality service, and provides online web check-in for passenger convenience.

Safety Information

Regarding regulatory certifications, Air Corsica is PART145 authorized since 1993, which means the company is certified to conduct its own aircraft maintenance with qualified personnel. It also operates an ATO (Approved Training Organisation) training center located in Bastia, providing initial training and ongoing skills support for its pilots and mechanics. This internal maintenance and training capability speaks to a strong commitment to operational standards. While specific mentions of IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit), FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) compliance (which is primarily for US operations), or explicit status on the EU safety list are not readily available in the provided snippets, the airline's ability to operate within France and to other European destinations implies adherence to stringent European aviation safety regulations.

The airline operates a fleet that includes Airbus A320s and ATR72-500s. These are widely used aircraft types with established safety records. The airline's internal maintenance program and training center contribute to maintaining its fleet according to high standards. No specific safety awards or recognitions were detailed in the provided search results. Overall, based on available information, Air Corsica appears to have a solid safety foundation through its internal maintenance, training programs, and standard operational practices expected of a European regional airline.
