Air Outre Mer (AOM) was founded in 1988 on the island of R?union, and commenced scheduled passenger service in 1990 with a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 and a Dornier Do 228. In October 1991 Air Outre Mer merged with Minerve, a French airline which was based at Orly and had operated since 1975. The two companies began operating under the name AOM French Airlines, although the administrative name was "AOM-Minerve S.A.". Minerve was the first airline to compete directly with Air Inter on the french domestic airline market by opening a Paris (Orly) - Nice route in may of 1990. In February 1999 Swissair acquired a 49% stake in the airline as a part of its "hunter strategy".
