AOM French AirlinesAOM/ IW

AOM French Airlines was a French carrier that operated from 1987 to 2001, when it merged with Air Liberté to form Air Lib. Based in Paris, AOM primarily operated scheduled passenger services on medium and long-haul routes, with a particular focus on connections between Europe and North Africa, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa. The airline was known for serving leisure and business travelers on routes that major carriers often overlooked, establishing itself as an important secondary carrier in France's aviation market. AOM operated a mix of cabin classes including business and economy seating, and maintained hubs at Paris Orly and Paris Charles de Gaulle airports. The airline's focus on African and Middle Eastern routes gave it a distinctive identity in European aviation before its integration into the Air Lib group.
