In 1988 the airline opened a route to Tahiti. IN 1991 Air Calédonie was the official transport for the Pacific Games in Tahiti.

In the mid-1990s Air Calédonie was renamed Air Calin and was given a new logo and a new image. The airline joined Air France’s rewards program Flying Blue. In 2000 the first flights to Osaka began as well as to Tokyo a year later to accommodate the growing popularity of New Caledonia as a tourist destination. In 2003 the airline ordered its first Airbus. By 2006 the airline was ready to launch itself on-line with a new site and electronic ticketing.
