Our history: pioneers in bespoke aviation for over 35 years

“To believe that anything is possible, to offer the best of oneself, and to work with passion”

AEROAFFAIRES was born from the intuition of François-Xavier Clerc, a private pilot trained from an early age, with a passion for aeronautics and a thorough knowledge of the industry. His aim was to offer an exceptional air service , putting the customer at the heart of logistics and selecting the best air operators. This vision remains the company’s DNA today, and his motto continues to guide our teams.

Since its creation, AEROAFFAIRES has been driven by a simple but demanding ambition: to make private aviation more accessible, more human and entirely personalized to your preferences, your needs and your challenges.

Today, the company is managed by her daughter, Isabelle Clerc, heir to this pioneering spirit and guarantor of the family values that forged AEROAFFAIRES.
Over the years, the company has crossed French borders, driven by the same vision: to offer a tailor-made approach to travel, where every detail counts.

Our heritage: the transmission of family know-how and an outlook on the future of business aviation

A history born in Paris, guided by passion and rigor

When François-Xavier Clerc founded AEROAFFAIRES in 1991 in Paris Le Bourget, it was not a theoretical project, but a conviction born in the field: business aviation needed intermediaries capable of combining technical expertise, responsiveness and human attention.
A former employee of Dassault Falcon Service, he has observed the evolution of a sector in the throes of change. Operators were multiplying, customers were demanding greater flexibility, and the unexpected was becoming the norm. It was against this backdrop that he set up his own air brokerage business – one of the very first in France – under the name Exair International, before it took on its current name: AEROAFFAIRES.

From the outset, his guiding principle was clear: never leave a customer without a solution. “In this business, you have to like stress – but the right kind of stress, the kind that pushes you to excel,” sums up François-Xavier Clerc. Every mission is a logistical and human challenge: finding the right aircraft in the right place, anticipating technical contingencies, reassuring passengers. The result is a reputation built on loyalty: “A satisfied customer means three fewer enquiries. Many have become friends

Over the years, AEROAFFAIRES has handled more than 20,000 flights worldwide. The company has adapted to the changing face of business aviation: digitization, increasing regulatory requirements, changing passenger profiles. It is becoming more structured, with a marketing department, without ever losing this direct link between broker and customer.

The handover to his daughter Isabelle Clerc marks a new stage. Joined by her before the Covid crisis, the company is opening up to a new generation: innovation, sustainability, greater personalization. The handover was not easy – “when you hand over your baby, you have to learn to trust” – but it was done with continuity: that of a trade practiced with humility, responsiveness and respect for customers.

One of the founder’s most vivid memories is of a wedding celebrated aboard an aircraft flying around Paris. The image of a shared sky, between precision and emotion, remains at the heart of what AEROAFFAIRES is today: a craft of made-to-measure, born of the passion of a pioneer and passed on with fidelity.

“Our daily goal is to offer every customer an air experience combining performance, safety, flexibility, and a true sense of service. Whether it’s an urgent business flight or a medical flight, we get the most demanding projects off the ground.”
Isabelle Clerc, CEO.

A word from the founder

**location jet privé** : Personne en costume devant un avion.

” To fly with AEROAFFAIRES is, above all, to fly with a human-scale company established in 1991. We cultivate this spirit year after year, thanks to a deliberately controlled workforce that enables us to be as close as possible to our customers and their needs.

We don’t limit ourselves to our contractual obligations, and are always on the lookout for solutions to meet the technical, mechanical, meteorological and operational contingencies of a flight.

It’s at these moments that we stand out for our responsiveness and the excellence of our team.”

– François-Xavier Clerc, Founder of AEROAFFAIRES

Sustainable private flights

A responsible carbon footprint for AEROAFFAIRES

In 2019, François-Xavier CLERC, founder of AEROAFFAIRES, has decided to make his company the first player in business aviation to offer its customers an ecological and responsible approach with Sky CO2 ®

“Ecology is neither a constraint nor a commercial argument, it’s a responsibility, a daily commitment for AEROAFFAIRES”.

Sky CO2 ® offsets the carbon emissions of ² ® flights by supporting “Martin Sagrado”, a major primary forest preservation project in Peru. Undertaken by the social enterprise PUR Projet in the San Martin region, a UNESCO World Heritage biosphere reserve, this initiative is part of a regional ecosystem rehabilitation program. It aims to capture 194,000 tonnes of CO² by preserving 7,400 hectares of forest per year.

To achieve this, PUR Projet provides us with a tool for calculating the carbon footprint of the flights to be offset. An equivalent number of credits is issued on the basis of these emissions, ensuring that the flight is carbon neutral.
