Our news flash in real time

Nouméa, 15 August, 9.00 am

Flights SB500 and SB501 scheduled for 15 August 2026 have had to be rescheduled to 16 August 2026 due to a technical issue with one of our aircraft.

Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that these flights will not be able to operate on 16 August 2026. This is because additional time is required to complete maintenance and ensure the aircraft is repaired.

We plan to rebook the journeys of the affected customers as soon as possible. At this stage, most of these rebookings would involve a flight via Singapore on Monday 17 August 2026, although this is yet to be confirmed:

Departure from Nouméa: 01:00

Arrival in Singapore: 07:20

Departure from Singapore: 11.10

Arrival in Nouméa: 22.50

Customers travelling to and from Paris and to and from Bangkok have already received their new itineraries.

Customers travelling between Nouméa and Paris or between Nouméa and Bangkok will very shortly receive their new itinerary by email and text message, including this flight via Singapore, which will be confirmed on the afternoon of Sunday 16 August 2026.

Should there be any further changes, we will keep them informed as soon as possible by email, text message and on our website.

We are fully aware of the impact this situation is having on our customers’ travel plans.

Rest assured that our teams remain fully committed to ensuring that the customers affected can reach their destination under the best possible conditions.

We would like to thank you once again for your trust and understanding.
