Just like Air France this week, Air Caraïbes and French bee, the Dubreuil Aéro group’s airlines, have confirmed the full maintenance of their flight programs for the summer of 2026.

The two carriers state they have taken all necessary measures to secure their fuel supplies and guarantee their long-haul connections. They specifically cover services to the Caribbean, Guyana, the Indian Ocean, North America, and French Polynesia.

To allow travelers to book their holidays with confidence, the two companies are launching an exceptional “fee-free changes” campaign from June 4 to June 17, 2026.

This measure applies to all tickets purchased during this period, for journeys scheduled between July 5, 2026 and March 27, 2027.

Customers will be able to make one free modification up to the departure of the initial flight, subject to a possible fare adjustment if the new chosen flight is more expensive.

The arrangement covers all fares and travel classes offered on the long-haul networks of the two airlines.

On its part, Air Austral has also announced an exceptional commercial measure designed to offer greater flexibility to its passengers.

From June 4 through June 30, 2026 inclusive, all tickets purchased for destinations operated by the airline may be changed without penalty, regardless of the fare and booking class chosen.

This policy covers the airline’s entire network, both long-haul and medium-haul.

Notably affected are the flights between Réunion and Paris, Mayotte and Paris, as well as the connections to Bangkok, Mauritius, Madagascar or all Indian Ocean destinations served by the airline.
