On 12 January 1990, Air Metro became a fully owned subsidiary of CAF with the latter increasing its ownership of the company to 100%. After the acquisition, the airline renamed itself as Air Metro Europe to reflect its expansion beyond metropolitan France and changed its livery to match that of its parent. Its monopoly on French domestic routes would remain until 1 January 1995, when deregulation in the French aviation market allowed for any EU-based carrier to freely compete on the airline's routes without restrictions on capacity, frequency, or fares. Air Metro became fully integrated into CAF on 1 April 1997, and from this day all flights would operate as part of CAF's mainline network.
