In 1995, CAP Cargo Airlines, the freight subsidiary of CAP, flew an ATR 42 (cargo capacity of 40 m), leased to Brit Air for Extand (now GLS France ), express carrier of small parcels, subsidiary of Calberson ( SNCF Group)[3] , first big customer, between Roissy and Avignon every evening.
Due to lack of capital, CAP Airlines went bankrupt at the end of 1997 after five years of operation.
