ASL Airlines France
A French scheduled, charter and cargo airline operating a focused Boeing 737 network, particularly between France and Algeria.
About ASL Airlines France
ASL Airlines France traces its history to 1991, when the business was established as Société d’Exploitation Aéropostale. It subsequently operated under the Europe Airpost name before adopting its current identity in 2015. The carrier is part of Ireland-based ASL Aviation Holdings and combines scheduled passenger flying with charter, cargo, aircraft-leasing and maintenance activities. This mixed operating model distinguishes it from airlines focused exclusively on scheduled passenger services.
Paris Charles de Gaulle is the airline’s principal passenger base, although flights also depart from regional French airports such as Lille, Lyon and Mulhouse. Algeria forms the core of its scheduled international network, with services to cities including Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Annaba and Béjaïa. Depending on the season, its timetable may also include Morocco, Tunisia, domestic French routes and service to Saint-Pierre in the French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
The fleet is built around the Boeing 737 family. Passenger operations use Boeing 737-700 and 737-800 aircraft, while dedicated 737-400 and 737-800 freighters support cargo contracts and other logistics work. Scheduled passenger aircraft generally have a single economy cabin, with different fare categories governing flexibility, baggage and other conditions rather than separate business-class and economy-class cabins. Onboard inclusions can therefore depend on the route and fare purchased.
ASL Airlines France does not belong to Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, and it does not advertise a conventional mileage-based frequent-flyer programme. Travellers should not expect alliance-wide earning, redemption or lounge benefits when booking its flights. The airline instead sells directly through its website and promotes fare offers through its own communications, alongside distribution through travel agencies and booking platforms.
A genuine strength is the airline’s provision of direct links between several French regional cities and Algerian destinations that might otherwise require a connection through a larger hub. Its relatively focused network can also make journeys straightforward where a suitable nonstop flight exists. The main limitation is seasonality: routes, departure airports and weekly frequencies can change substantially between summer and winter, so travellers should confirm the operating dates before arranging separate transport or accommodation.
