Air Caraïbes and French Bee have announced, during the COP26, that they became the first airlines in the world to be fully Green Pilot® certified. This new label recognizes airlines that have developed a robust carbon-reducing program in their operations and have actively engaged all their employees in their green policy.
The Green Pilot® certification has been designed to meet the growing demand from airlines leaders to assess, support, and improve their fuel efficiency program. This demanding certification evaluates the quality of the green policy implemented in an airline’s operations and employees’ commitment to this strategy.
With a thorough and transparent evaluation on training, application of fuel-saving best practices, communication, CSR, and implication in collaborative projects with the airline’s ecosystem, the Green Pilot® certification assesses that airlines meet the highest standards of environmental best practices, public transparency, and employee engagement.
As part of the program, once the airline is certified, educational materials are distributed to employees to improve their awareness of fuel best practices, increase the green culture and further reduce CO2 emissions.
About Green Pilot®:
Initiated by OpenAirlines, the leading eco-flying solution provider, and supported by Bertrand Piccard and the Solar Impulse Foundation, Green Pilot® is a collective movement of airline professionals concerned about climate change and committed to promoting green actions to reduce aviation impact.

French bee made this announcement:
French bee, sister French airline of Air Caraïbes and a subsidiary company of the Dubreuil Group, is proud to announce that it has made the longest nonstop domestic commercial flight between Tahiti-Faa’a and Paris-Orly with one of its new generation Airbus A350-900s. The A350-900, registration F-HREY, took off from Tahiti-Faaa International Airport at 10.51am on Thursday, May 14, 2020 and landed at Orly at 3:40pm LT on Friday, May 15, 2020. The flight time was 16:49 hours, to cover a route of more than 16,129 kilometers.
Previously on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, the aircraft had carried out a cargo-only flight from Orly to Tahiti-Faa’a with a stopover in Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe). The flight carried 20 tons of medical supplies for French Polynesia. This flight, managed by Hiline Cargo, a specialized subsidiary of the Dubreuil Aéro Group, was loaded by SIFA Logistics.
“The flight was carried out under standard performance conditions of the Airbus A350, with an average altitude of 12,500 meters, at a speed of 940 km/h. The A350’s fuel consumption qualities, 25% less than a conventional long-haul aircraft, enabled it to cross these 16,129 kilometers. “Explains, Ludovic André, Director of Air Operations and Chief Pilot of French bee.
