Air Charter International was a French charter airline which operated from 1966 to 1998. The air carrier was established on 7 February 1966 as a subsidiary of Air France under the corporate name Societé Aérienne Française d'Affrètements (SAFA). Flight operations began on 25 July 1966 with two Sud Caravelles and two Lockheed Super Constellations made available by the parent company. These flew charter flights from Paris to the Mediterranean basin. On 8 December 1969 the airline changed its trading name to Air Charter International (ACI). In 1971, ACI operated a fleet of seven Caravelles and carried about 420.000 passengers. The first two Boeing 727-200 were introduced in 1972. Transatlantic charter flights to the USA and Canada were offered from 1982 onwards with leased Boeing 747-200 aircraft operated by Air France. Six Super Caravelles were leased from EAS Europe Airlines until 1992. In 1984, the airline's trading name was shortened to Air Charter.
