Where this list comes from
Our France list has 44 operators that hold a French air operator certificate (CTA) from the DGAC. The largest aeroplane fleets on our list are Valljet, Oyonnair and Thalair; the largest helicopter fleets are SAF Hélicoptères, HBG France and Hélisécurité.
Every operator below appears on one of the DGAC's two lists of French companies with a valid air operator certificate: the aeroplane list updated on 13 January 2026 and the helicopter list updated on 2 December 2025. We show each company's certificate number exactly as the DGAC prints it.
The order follows the number of aircraft each operator has on our list, largest first. That is a count of aircraft, not a ranking of service or safety. Smaller operators often specialise in one region or one aircraft type.
As a broker, we compare operators for each trip and name the one flying you on the quote. To check any operator yourself, read Is my flight legal?, or browse every charter operator in France we list.

From the DGAC list of French helicopter operators with a valid air operator certificate, 2 December 2025.
How we pick an operator for your flight
- The certificate first: the operator must be on the DGAC list, and the aircraft type must be one its certificate covers.
- Then the aircraft: where it is based, so positioning stays short, and whether it suits your departure and arrival airports.
- Then the price: we compare quotes and show the operator's name, the aircraft and every tax on its own line, as set out on our pricing and fees page.

Questions, answered
Still deciding? A charter specialist will talk you through aircraft, airports and price, with no obligation.
Ask a specialistHow many charter operators are there in France?+
The DGAC's lists show 63 French aeroplane operators (13 January 2026) and 36 helicopter operators (2 December 2025) with a valid air operator certificate. Our France list has 44 of them.
Which French operator has the most aircraft?+
On our list, SAF Hélicoptères has the largest fleet, with 44 helicopters. Among aeroplane operators, Valljet has the most, with 17 aircraft.
Is a bigger operator safer?+
Fleet size is not a safety measure. Every operator here holds the same DGAC air operator certificate and is overseen by the DGAC.
Can I book an operator directly?+
Yes, or through a broker such as Altivo Jets, which compares operators for your trip. Either way, the operator flying you must be named before you book.
