Discover French bee
French bee is a unique company of its kind : French, low-cost and long-haul. Of course that interests you !
The birth of a company unlike any other
French bee was born from reflection on the evolution of global air travel and the commitment of the Groupe Dubreuil to not leave the field open to competition from abroad in the low-cost long-haul market. Starting from a fresh page, we have brought all the factors to the company’s road map which we believe will forge the company’s success. For that we are broadly inspired by the aspirations of our future customers.
How? By simply asking you! Thanks to your suggestions, we strive every day to create a company you want. At French bee, we allow you to choose the services YOU need at the price that suits YOU!
It all began in 2016 with our very first takeoff to sunny Punta Cana. By the summer of 2017, we had charted a new course for the Indian Ocean, with Réunion Island as our next stop. In May 2018, we soared across the Pacific, launching service to Tahiti via San Francisco, a bold leap into paradise. July 2021 marked a major milestone with our arrival in the United States, starting with New York City. In 2022, we touched down on the West Coast with Los Angeles and expanded our East Coast presence with a direct route from Paris Orly to Miami. And the latest destination to join our growing network: as of April 30, 2025, we now fly nonstop from Paris to Montreal. Our journey is far from over. Our wings keep spreading, and our North American adventure is just getting started.
French bee : A New Way of Flying
A NEW MILESTONE ACHIEVED TOGETHER!
Since our inception, French bee has grown alongside those who choose to travel differently. After ranking among the world’s top 10 low-cost long-haul airlines in 2025, we’re taking another decisive step forward.
French bee has just won the award for Best Leisure Airline in France 2026 at the prestigious Skytrax World Airline Awards!
This victory belongs first and foremost to you. It recognizes a community of curious, passionate, and loyal travelers, as well as the daily efforts of our teams to help you travel to iconic destinations at the best prices.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRUST AND SUPPORT!
Our goal: an innovative, high-quality product that is accessible to everyone
At French bee what we want is to not only be able to carry our customers at preferential rates but also surprise them with the exceptional level of our in-flight services!
From now on, low-cost has a new meaning: not expensive, but on trend and desirable... A low-cost and actually smart-cost!
Our standards have nothing really standard and we don’t skimp on comfort: leather seats in all classes, with lower back support and vertically and horizontally movable head-rests, extra-wide HD touchscreens with a program of entertainment both free and generous, and don’t forget Wi-Fi as an available options…
Everything of course with tariffs previously unheard of in long-haul travel. Our ambition is to take you further away, more often, and for way less!
The best planes with the best layouts
We have chosen the constructor Airbus to build our fleet. By the end of June, our brand new A330-300, equipped with Wi-Fi, will be delivered to begin service. We have developed the layout of the cabin with no compromise on comfort. We chose the German manufacturer Zim, known for quality in its production, to furnish the seats in Economy and Premium classes. Book a flight and try them out!
Since then, the French bee family has grown: 4 Airbus A350-900 and 1 Airbus A350-1000 have joined the fleet (a 2nd A350-1000 is planned for 2022). Our A330-300 has integrated Air Caraïbes' fleet, sister airline of French bee. Since June 2019, French bee is the first airline to have chosen the Airbus A350 XWB as the only aircraft for its entire fleet.
Simple values, but anchored in our DNA
Our values guide our staff every day in carrying out their jobs:
- Customer care is at the heart of everything: French bee wants nothing but satisfied customers! We are a smiling company which listens and is agile and reacts to the current and future desires of our passengers.
