Start-Ups French Blue becomes French Bee

Some weeks after the management has confirmed the interims solution name “French”, the company has now announced to rebrand into French Bee.

In May 2018, the carrier plans to open a new route from Paris to Faa’a International Airport in French Polynesia via San Francisco Airport. Due to a high similarity of the carrier’s name French Blue with a US airline, probably Jet Blue, US authorities recommended a change of name. Therefor French Blue officially announced to rebrand as French Bee.

French Bee is a subsidiary of the French holding company Group Dubreuil. In addition to French Bee, the company owns Guadeloupe-based Air Caraibes.

French Bee operates a fleet of one Airbus A330-300 with 378 seats (28 Premium, 350 Economy) and one A350-900 with 411 seats (35 Premium, 376 Economy).
