Dubreuil Group announced several strategic initiatives to accelerate the development of its airbusiness.
Air Caraïbes transported 1.228.000 passengers in 2014 (an increase of 0.3% from 2013) with a record turnover of EUR 358 million.
Marc Rochet, Chairman of Executive Board of Air Caraïbes said: "in an extremely competitive environment, Air Caraïbes demonstrated once more, with the involvement of all its staff, the confidence of its customers, to the rigor of its management, its ability to record another year of success. Sustainable growth is the priority of Air Caraïbes and we intend to continue in this direction."
Group Dubreuil wants Air Caraïbes to be the 1st French private airline and an additional A350-900, available in June/2017, has been added to the original order of 2013.
This early availability schedule indicates that the aircraft could be a flying prototype (probably MSN5) that need to be refurbished in 2016.

Sunline will be based on a "new model" of long-haul low-cost carrier and will include wifi and video for its passengers.
