Gloopy, October and November AirFranceKLM traffic numbers will be telling...
The pulldown information is for scheduled
The traffic information is actual flown
Right now is AirFranceKLM is "reducing capacity" by transferring some AF 747 freighters to Martinair. I'm not sure Martinair is part of the Transatlantic JV. That would mean AirFranceKLM could grow the pax business but stay within the 1.5% of the 50/50 balance by subtracting the transferred cargo from their share of EASK.
Still there is a disconnect between this:
Last month, Air France-KLM announced it reduced its planned capacity growth for the winter to 3.4 per cent
And this:
Last month, Delta said it would cut capacity next year by 2-3 per cent
