Air Turquoise was a budget airline based in France that provided services connecting Reims Champagne Airport with destinations such as Marseille, Nice, and Bordeaux. The airline ceased operations and was liquidated on 2 August 2006.

History

Established on 21 June 2005, Air Turquoise operated a single ATR 42-500 aircraft (registration D-BRRR) configured with 44 seats. On 28 June 2006, the airline shifted its base from Reims airport to Vatry International Airport.

Due to financial challenges, the carrier halted all flights starting 19 July 2006 and soon entered liquidation proceedings. Although its operating license remained valid until 31 July in an effort to attract new investors, the airline ultimately discontinued all business activities on 2 August 2006.

Destinations

Air Turquoise served several important destinations in France and the United Kingdom, including:

  • Bordeaux (Aéroport de Bordeaux Mérignac)
  • London (London Luton Airport)
  • Marseille (Marseille Provence Airport)
  • Nice (Côte d'Azur International Airport)
  • Reims (Vatry International Airport) – HUB
  • Toulouse (Toulouse Blagnac International Airport)
