ASL Airlines France, formerly Europe Airpost, is an airline based in the Bâtiment Le Séquoia in Tremblay-en-France. It operates mail and cargo flights for the postal service and newspapers dispatch during the night and scheduled and charter services for other airlines and tour operators by day thanks to its fleet of Boeing 737-700, 737-800 and Boeing 737-300QC ("Quick Change") aircraft that can be switched between cargo and passenger configuration in less than an hour. Its main base is Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.
The airline's roots can be traced to the "Companie générale aéropostale" in 1927 that pioneered mail delivery between Europe, Africa and South America with famous pilots like Jean Mermoz and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. That company was dissolved in 1932 and merged with others to form Air France. The company was a subsidiary of Air France from 1947 to 1991, operating as Société d'Exploitation Aéropostale (SEA). It took on the name Europe Airpost in 2000 when it started services on its own for the French national postal service (La Poste). On March 14, 2008, ASL Aviation of Ireland officially acquired the airline. The aircraft kept the former livery and call sign. The company had 400 employees as of March 2007.
On 4 June 2015, ASL Aviation Group, the parent company of Europe Airpost, announced that Europe Airpost would be rebranded as ASL Airlines France.
The ASL Airlines France fleet consists of the following aircraft (as of August 2019):
