Volotea, Air Caraïbes, and French Bee Forge Partnership to Enhance European Travel Connections

Traveling between Europe and distant locales like the Caribbean and North America has become more seamless.

On August 6, 2025, Volotea, Air Caraïbes, and French Bee announced a strategic interline agreement aimed at enhancing connectivity for passengers journeying from various European cities to their preferred far-off destinations.

This collaboration is set to revolutionize travel by offering a more integrated and efficient experience.

Key Features of the Interline Agreement

The partnership focuses on streamlining international travel, providing several significant benefits for passengers:

One-Stop Ticketing: Travelers can now book a single ticket encompassing their entire journey, from their European departure city to their final destination, eliminating the need to manage multiple tickets for different segments of the trip.

Simplified Baggage Transfer: Checked baggage will be automatically transferred to the final destination, removing the inconvenience of retrieving and re-checking luggage during layovers.

Optimized Flight Connections: The agreement ensures smooth connections at Paris-Orly Airport, facilitating easier transitions between short-haul and long-haul flights.

This integrated approach is particularly advantageous for travelers heading to destinations in the Caribbean, French overseas territories, and North America.

By offering a comprehensive travel solution, the interline agreement simplifies logistics and enhances the overall travel experience.

Expanded Connectivity to Remote Destinations

Under this agreement, passengers departing from various regional cities in France and Italy will find it more convenient to access long-haul destinations.

The cities now directly linked to distant regions include:

France: Lourdes, Rodez

Italy: Alghero, Ancona, Genoa, Olbia, Turin, Verona

These cities are now seamlessly connected to destinations such as:

The Caribbean: Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana

French Polynesia

North America: United States (Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Newark), Canada (Montreal)

Réunion Island

This enhanced connectivity broadens travel options for residents of smaller cities who previously faced lengthy and complex journeys to reach long-haul destinations.

Through this collaboration, regional airports and smaller markets gain access to international routes, fostering tourism and economic growth.

Access to Sales Channels and Travel Agencies

For those eager to explore these new routes, booking combined itineraries has become more straightforward.

Starting August 6, 2025, travelers can purchase tickets for connecting flights through both Air Caraïbes and French Bee websites.

Additionally, partner travel agencies now offer these combined itineraries, allowing passengers to seamlessly arrange their travels online or through an agency.

The Impact on Tourism and the Travel Industry

This partnership aims to do more than just simplify logistics; it also opens the door to new travel opportunities.

By connecting regional European cities to international destinations, the agreement is expected to stimulate tourism between Europe, the Caribbean, and North America.

Additionally, with greater ease in traveling to overseas territories like Réunion Island, the initiative supports both business and leisure travel.

The interline agreement is also set to benefit local tourism industries.

For example, passengers traveling from smaller cities in France and Italy will have greater access to popular vacation spots in the Caribbean and North America.

As more tourists arrive in these regions, businesses in tourism, hospitality, and services stand to gain.
