Corbet graduated from École nationale de l'aviation civile (ÉNAC) of Toulouse, was promoted airline pilot in 1974), and began his career as an air transport pilot in Gabon, while waiting to be hired by Air France.

After being hired by Air France, he was first officer on a Boeing 737 and 747, and then captain of an Airbus A320 before being qualified for the Airbus A340.

As head of the Air France section of the Syndicat National des Pilotes de Ligne, he organized a ten-day strike at Air France, just before the 1998 FIFA World Cup. In 2001, he became president of Air Lib, airline created with the merger of AOM French Airlines and Air Liberté.

In July 2001, Jean-Charles Corbet, through Holdco society, proposed to resume the group's assets AOM / Air Liberté, while on probation for one euro. Although not having any credit standing or experience as a business leader, his offer (which was considered the best of the seventeen competing takeover bids) was accepted by the court of Creteil.

The recovery plan was complemented by a commitment of Swissair, a previous AOM shareholder, to pay $1.250 billion USD to Holdco, only some of which will be paid (about $ 1 billion).
