About French bee
French bee is a French long-haul low-cost airline. The September 2020 Dubreuil Aéro press release lists it with Air Caraïbes as an airline owned by Groupe Dubreuil Aéro, and French bee's own website calls Air Caraïbes its sister airline.

About the owner: Dubreuil Aéro
Dubreuil Aéro is a privately held company headquartered in France. Brandtree records 2 brands under its control.
Air-transport arm of the family-owned French Groupe Dubreuil, described in a September 2020 joint press release as the first private French airline group and the owner of Air Caraïbes and French bee. That release announced an agreement for CMA CGM to take a 30% stake in Dubreuil Aéro; the completion of that deal was not checked against a current document, so no stake is recorded. Air Caraïbes' current website still describes it as a company of the Dubreuil group. Its cargo-sales subsidiary HiLine Cargo is not an airline.
