The airline was established in 1981 and started operations on 17 May 1981 as Corse Air International. It was founded by the Corsican Rossi family and was acquired by a French tour operator in 1990 and the name was changed to “Corsair”. In 2000 TUI AG, one of the world’s leading tour operator groups, took over the airline.
At the end of 2005 the TUI Group, decided to rename all its affiliated airlines TUIfly. As an interim step Corsair aircraft were repainted with Corsairfly markings, although all airlines in the group (Thomsonfly, TUIfly, Corsairfly, Arkefly) are expected the common TUIfly brand by 2008.
Beginning 2008, the airline announced that it will look forward to expand its medium-haul network to the Mediterraneans and its long-haul network to Canada and also to the United States where it regularly flew in the 1990s.
