History

Air Outre Mer (AOM) was founded in 1988 in the French overseas département of the island of Réunion and began scheduled passenger service in 1990 with a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 and a Dornier 228. In October 1991, Air Outre Mer merged with Air Minerve, a French airline which was based at Orly Airport and had operated since 1975. The two companies began operating under the name AOM French Airlines although the administrative name was "AOM-Minerve S.A.". Air Minerve was the first airline to compete directly with Air Inter on the French domestic airline market by opening a Paris (Orly) - Nice route in May 1990. In February 1999, Swissair acquired a 49% stake in the airline as a part of its "hunter strategy". For most of the decade, the airline fiercely competed with Air France on both the French domestic market and on the air routes to the French overseas territories. Due to inappropriate fleet management and overcapacity, the airline quickly accumulated huge debts and consequently ceased operations in 2001 (possibly as a result of the bursting of the dot-com bubble and the early 2000s recession which followed)[citation needed]. The airline's final bankruptcy was approved after several months of strikes.[citation needed]

On 25 March 2001 AOM French Airlines merged with Air Liberté, the airline retaining the name "Air Liberté".[2] On 22 September 2001 the airline was renamed "Air Lib".{Wikipedia French article}.[3]

AOM's disappearance was followed by several other French airlines such as Aeris, Air Littoral, Euralair and Star Airlines (later XL Airways France) in the next several years, leaving Air France and Corsair International as the two largest remaining airlines in France at the time.
