From 1^st of July to 7^th of September 2025, our two Airbus A330neo aircraft will be grounded for regular scheduled maintenance. 

In order to fully maintain its flight schedule, Aircalin has chartered an Airbus A330-200 from Hi Fly, a European airline operating under the same regulations and standards as Aircalin (member of IATA, certified by EASA), a regulatory obligation with which our airline must be compliant.

The aircraft will operate flights mainly between Noumea and Singapore, as well as a few routes to Sydney and Papeete, for which customers will be notified directly.

Onboard service will be provided jointly by our Aircalin and Hi Fly crews, to guarantee a qualitative experience in Business Hibiscus, Premium Economy and Economy classes.
