Australian operations are centred on Sydney Airport, Brisbane Airport, and Melbourne Airport, forming the primary gateways for travel between Australia and Nouméa.

Aircalin operates as a full-service international airline with cabin segregation into Business Class and Economy Class. The airline integrates its Australian services into Pacific regional traffic flows, supporting both leisure travel to New Caledonia and onward connections to destinations such as Tokyo and Papeete through Nouméa.

As of 2026, Aircalin operates scheduled international routes across the South Pacific and Asia-Pacific region using a mixed Airbus fleet. Its network structure prioritises Australia–New Caledonia connectivity, with multiple weekly departures from Australian east coast capitals depending on seasonal scheduling and demand cycles.
