“North America Exceeds 2019 Capacity

Air France decided to add capacity from Paris to the US, its leading long-haul destination. During the summer, the French airline will operate close to 200 flights per week, which is 20% more than in 2019. In total, AF will serve 14 destinations in the country.

The most important long-haul destination for the French flag carrier is New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK). The airline decided to reintroduce its daily flight between Paris-Orly (ORY) and JFK, along with the other six daily flights from Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG).

The carrier and its American partner, Delta Air Lines (DL), have introduced a special “shuttle” service between the two cities. The two airlines operate eight daily flights between CDG and JFK (six AF flights and two DL flights). Starting in early June, the airlines are to offer regular departures every one or two hours during the day from CDG and during the afternoon and evening from JFK.

Last week, AF reopened its route between CDG and Dallas Fort-Worth (DFW), with five weekly flights. Moreover, the airline will resume its seasonal route to Denver (DEN) with three flights per week. AF had already flown this route last year during the summer using its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.

In Canada too, AF plans to exceed its pre-pandemic levels, with a 25% increase in capacity. The airline will inaugurate a new route from CDG to Quebec City (YQB), with three weekly flights. The airline says it will become the first European airline in terms of capacity between Europe and Canada.“

And don't forget to keep an eye on the Korean Air and Asiana merger in the Pacific. A lot of threats to our scope out there. Hope DALPA is staying frosty on this.

Yep. The only real enforcement mechanism with teeth is to force any amount of the code share, connections and revenue sharing beyond what we agree to be pulled down immediately when it exceeds our Scope.

Air France increasing trans-Atlantic 20%….while we keep pushing our WB bid, and associated under-staffing, into the fall. Makes total sense.

We are not, and never will be a WB airline. This is why profit sharing is so vital,

That’s not what he meant, and you know it. And in a thread specifically talking about the AF JV grossly outstripping our international lift, no less…

Yall act like Delta did not announce significant Atlantic flying expansion this summer. 2014 hire 7ERAs hires are already getting called out on reserve to fly across the ocean. Many will be flying them on Greens this summer. Folks getting all worked up posting foreign carrier headlines and while completely ignoring our own
