At Calvi the choice is between the airport taxis, the coach services and a pre-booked transfer. This comparison uses only what the airport publishes.
How the airport taxi works
The airport states that taxis are parked in front of the arrivals area. Its taxi page gives a telephone number and a website for information and booking. It does not publish a tariff, so there is no published price to compare against. Before you set off, ask the driver for an estimate or how the fare is calculated, and confirm the destination is accepted.
How the coach services work
The airport's bus page lists coach services toward L'Ile-Rousse, Bastia, Galeria and Calenzana, with the operator's telephone number. It does not publish timetables or fares, and it does not say whether the coaches stop at the airport, so the operator is the only source for those details. The railway station is in Calvi town centre, not at the airport.
When a pre-booked transfer makes sense
You are going beyond the town. The airport lists L'Ile-Rousse at 24 km, Galeria at 26 km, Corte at 84 km and Bastia at 112 km (indicative). A transfer goes to the address.
You want to know the price first. A transfer price is fixed at booking (see the live From price on this page). With a taxi you agree the fare with the driver, since no tariff is published.
You travel with children or a group. A suitable vehicle and a child seat can be requested in advance. Do not assume a taxi has a child seat; ask the operator.
You land late. The arrangement is made before you travel. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the confirmation says where to meet.
When a taxi is simply fine
If you are one or two travelers, have no fixed schedule and are heading to Calvi itself, which the airport lists at 7 km, the taxis in front of arrivals are straightforward. Ask for an estimate and keep it in mind.
