A Message from the Executive
Growing Air Touraine without losing its identity
"Air Touraine holds a special place in my life. I've been working there for nine years now, and since 2024, I've been responsible for helping to shape its development and future."
This role has taught me that an aerospace company does not rely solely on its aircraft or certifications. Above all, it relies on the men and women who bring it to life—on their experience, their high standards, and their ability to work together.
Every day, we strive to help Air Touraine grow while preserving what defines it: a company on a human scale, close to its customers, committed to its local community, and deeply dedicated to the quality of its services.
Our goal is to continue expanding our operations, our fleet, and our teams, while remaining true to the commitment to reliability and trust that has defined Air Touraine since 1978.
