Our Technical maintenance department

Corsairfly has its own Technical department whose role is to keep the company's aircraft in service. The department's main base is in Orly but it is also present in Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre and La Réunion.

The Corsairfly Technical Division represents:

  • 200 employees, of which 110 work in production.
  • The implementation of production, logistics, purchasing, engineering, planning and quality activities to ensure aircraft are maintained and monitored under optimal safety conditions.
  • In 2007, an operating budget of around €50 million to service the aircraft.
  • The management of almost 3,500 plane rotations departing from Orly.

Safety

Since 1994, the Corsairfly Technical Division has held the JAR 145 certificate, which guarantees that aircraft are operated under the most stringent safety conditions.

Major maintenance operations are entrusted to organizations that have been approved to carry out this kind of work and that ensure the highest quality and safety standards are met (Air France, Cargolux, SASCO, etc.). A team of technical experts is present at Orly around the clock to coordinate maintenance operations on aircraft both at Orly and at external stop-overs.

Furthermore, this team monitors the behavior of the latest generation of aircraft (Airbus A330) whose airborne systems are in constant contact with Orly via satellite. Safety not only concerns the aircraft itself but also passenger and luggage checks on the ground and on board.

On the ground

au sol

You may be asked for your identity card or passport on several occasions and your luggage may be inspected. Sharp-edged objects or anything that may be used as a weapon may not be carried in your hand luggage. These objects will be confiscated when your hand luggage is checked. For further information on objects which may be carried in hand or hold luggage, click here.

On board

When entering the aircraft, the cabin crew will check your boarding pass. In addition, they count the passengers once everyone has boarded to ensure that the number of passengers is correct. These risk prevention and control measures are put in place for your own safety.

IOSA certification

au sol

In May 2008, Corsairfly was awarded IOSA accreditation, which is an IATA label (International Air Transport Association). This label acknowledges the company's adhesion to a recognized quality assurance system and its commitment to safety.

By obtaining this certificate, which is now a requirement for airline companies that are members of the IATA, Corsairfly highlights and confirms its strict compliance with international safety rules, particularly in terms of organization, maintenance and airborne operations.

The IOSA assessment programme is based on the methodical examination of almost 1000 points that encompass international standards as well as best airline company practices.
