French Overseas Airlines to Connect in Bangkok
Bangkok will serve as a new hub connecting Air Austral from La Reunion and Aircalin from New Caledonia.
Starting November 1, 2025, Air Austral and Aircalin will launch a new interline partnership, bridging two French overseas territories with Bangkok as the connecting hub.
- The commercial interline agreement allows travelers to fly between Saint-Denis (RUN) and Nouméa (NOU) on a single ticket with through-checked baggage.
- Passengers will travel from La Reunion to Bangkok on Air Austral before continuing to Noumea on Aircalin the following day.
- The return flight follows the same pattern, with Aircalin operating from Noumea to Bangkok and Air Austral completing the journey back to La Reunion.
This new partnership marks a step toward strengthening connectivity among France’s overseas regions and enhancing mobility across oceans.
