Air France: In The News All The Time!

Not many companies have events unfolding every now and then. Air France however is an airline that always has something up its sleeve. Even in the course of a few days, the airline manages to come up with events that are newsworthy and have an impact on a great many people as well as the commercial airline industry in general.

One new development was that would help Air France passengers in a big way was the signing of an agreement between Air France and Air Antilles Express through which Air France will be able to sell its tickets on the Air Antilles Express flights that are operated by the ATR 52 500. This will ensure that passengers travelling between Fort de France and Saint Lucia will have more options to book their tickets now.

The agreement is a new beginning to facilitate tourism and trade relations between the Caribbean and Europe and will pave the way for many more such understandings. Senior Executives of both airlines, the Senior Vice President of Caribbean and Indian Ocean Air France KLM Mr. Alain Malka, and Chief Executive Officer of Air Antilles Express Mr. Christian Marchand, issued statements praising the partnership that is expected to extend into more mutually beneficial deals as well.

The last few days also saw Aerolineas Argentinas join the popular SkyTeam, a Global Airline Alliance which Air France is a part of, and has been making waves in the aviation sector. This is the first in many ways including the first instance of a South American airline joining the alliance. This means that the SkyTeam Alliance for the first time, has its own representative in the South American skies, a void that was affecting both the alliance as well as passengers of the member airlines.

Aerolineas Argentinas is an airline that has been undergoing a series of radical changes which included an upgrade of its fleet, making positive modifications to its route plans, initiating interesting benefits and changes into its frequent flyer plan, the Aerolineas Plus, as well as upgrading its entire software system for more efficiency and accuracy. This has enabled the airline to become one of the best airlines in the region, thus matching up to the high levels of quality and service that the membership of the SkyTeam Alliance demands.

The airline has two hubs in Buenos Aires and caters to passengers who fly to at least 52 destinations in 14 different countries. The airline numbers include 35 destinations within Argentina thus making it one of the most sought after airlines in Argentina, and therefore a great asset to Air France passengers who wish to travel within the South American nation.
