Air France at 90 - France's Largest Airline

Founded in 1933, Air France is that country's largest airline with 211 aircraft at its disposal, comprising narrow- and wide-body types as well as cargo aircraft. Subsidiary company, low-cost Air France Hop, currently operates an additional 33 aircraft. Together they fly to 191 destinations in 89 countries. Since merging with Dutch airline KLM in 2004 and forming the Air France-KLM Group, Air France has renovated its fleet and vastly improved its profit margins. This book provides an illustrated history of the company and its subsidiary, detailing its origins and growth from small beginnings to national flag carrier with an impressive fleet that is continually updated through outright purchases and long-term lease agreements. Air France flies all over the world, and its route map and diversification are all reviewed, together with its alliance with KLM, which gives it access to a vast market of feeder routes across Europe serving the nation's leisure and business interests.
