Air Caraïbes, the airline of the groupe Dubreuil, received its fourth Airbus A350-1000, consolidating its widebody fleet. The delivery took place at Airbus facilities in Toulouse (TLS). The aircraft subsequently performed a ferry flight to Paris/Orly (ORY), where it will be deployed on its two highest-demand routes: Pointe-à-Pitre (PTP), Fort-de-France (FDF), and occasionally to Punta Cana (PUJ).

Like the rest of its A350-1000s, the aircraft registered as F-HAJP is configured with 24 seats in business class (Madras), 45 in premium economy (Caraïbes), and 360 in economy (Soleil), totaling 429 seats. The Caribbean airline’s widebody fleet consists of two A330-300s, three A350-900s, and four A350-1000s, all based at Orly to connect with the French Caribbean.
