Air Caraïbes and French Bee, the two airlines of the Dubreuil group, are asking the State for help, ensuring that they are the only ones in their sector not to have yet obtained public support in the face of the Covid-19 crisis.
Since the outbreak of the health crisis more than a year ago, France has considerably limited travel to and from abroad. Orly airport, in particular, was closed for three months in 2020. These measures weighed on the aviation sector and Mr. Rochet believes that his companies have lost "several years of profit". It plans to return to the green for 2022, but justifies its request for public aid by the fact that all its competitors have received it, starting with the giant Air France.
"When we make a gesture for Air France, Air Austral or Corsair, it must be about the same for everyone," said Mr. Rochet, without saying how much his companies had asked the State.
