Overview

Air Inter was a French domestic passenger airline founded in 1954. Its principal role was to operate scheduled services linking Paris with other major French cities and to provide domestic air connectivity across France. The company was an important part of France’s domestic aviation system for several decades. As the French airline sector was reorganized and consolidated, Air Inter was integrated into the Air France system and eventually ceased operating as an independent airline brand. Air Inter is no longer an active airline.

History

Air Inter was established in France in 1954 as an airline focused on the domestic market. Rather than concentrating on long-haul international services, it connected Paris with cities throughout France through scheduled passenger flights, serving business, administrative and personal travel demand. Over several decades, Air Inter became an important participant in French domestic aviation and developed a network suited to the country’s urban and economic geography. As the European aviation market liberalized, competition increased and the French airline sector underwent organizational consolidation. Air Inter became increasingly integrated with the Air France system and did not continue as a permanently independent operator. Around 1997, it was incorporated into the Air France system, ending its separate operations and brand presence. Its domestic activities and associated resources were subsequently handled within the Air France structure.
