AIRCALIN is making changes to its logo, a move that comes as the international airline prepares to take delivery of its first Airbus A350-900 in December.
The new logo, unveiled last week, retains the iconic hibiscus flower but features a simplified outline, a lighter pistil, and a newly added fifth petal.
The company’s name is now written in capital letters with a straighter, bolder typography, and the words “New Caledonia” have been integrated directly below the brand name. Aircalin describes the update as a “modernization without disruption” that aims to strengthen its identity on the international stage.
The first aircraft to feature the new livery will be the A350-900, which is expected to arrive at La Tontouta Airport in December. A second A350 is scheduled for delivery in 2028.
The rebranding follows a significant year for the airline, which carried 297,592 passengers in 2025. The company also reported that its recently launched Nouméa–Paris route via Bangkok transported over 30,000 passengers last year, with an occupancy rate of above 80 per cent. Aircalin says the new logo reflects its status as a “deeply Caledonian” carrier.
The airline’s logo has evolved several times since its founding in 1983, with the current iteration marking the first major redesign since 2012.
