Subsidiaries
Airlinair set up two subsidiary airlines:
- Aérolinair In 2002, ALTIME subsidiary was renamed Aérolinair. The headquarters were moved to Périgueux-Bassilac Airport. Its business activity was also changed to "public or private air transport operations" (ICAO code: ERN and call sign: Faucon Bleu). It was structured to operate Airlinair's Beechcraft 1900D fleet. Using these regional airliners it operated routes from Périgueux to Lyon and to Tours. The company was liquidated in 2015.
- Airlinair Portugal It was established in Portugal in 2008 with the aim of expanding the operations also in Africa. The fleet was made up by a single ATR 42-300, used for mining industries needs, particularly in West Africa. At the end of 2012, the company was acquired by the holding company Adige, owner of the French airline Chalair Aviation. The name was replaced by Lease Fly Aviation Services.
