Air France
(
French pronunciation:
[ɛːʁ

; legally
Société Air France, S.A.
), stylised as
AIRFRANCE
, is the
flag carrier
of
France
, and is headquartered in
Tremblay-en-France
. The airline is a subsidiary of the
Air France-KLM
Group and is one of the founding members of the
SkyTeam
airline alliance. As of 2013, Air France served 29 destinations in France and operates worldwide scheduled passenger and cargo services to 201 destinations in 78 countries (93 including
overseas departments and territories of France
) and also carried 46,803,000 passengers in 2019. The airline's global
hub
is at
Charles de Gaulle Airport
, with
Orly Airport
as the primary domestic hub. Air France's
corporate headquarters
, previously in
Montparnasse
, Paris,
[

are located at the
Roissypôle
complex on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport, north of Paris.

Tracing its origins back to the 1910s, Air France was formed on 30 August 1933 through the merger of five existing airlines in France. During the
Cold War
, from 1950 until 1990, it was one of the three main
Allied
scheduled airlines operating in Germany at
West Berlin
's
Tempelhof
and
Tegel
airports. In 1990, it acquired the operations of French domestic carrier
Air Inter
and international rival UTA –
Union de Transports Aériens
. It merged with
KLM
to form Air France-KLM in 2003.
[
10
]
In 2018, Air France and its
regional
subsidiary
Hop
carried 51.4 million passengers.
[
11
]
Air France operates a mixed fleet of
Airbus
and
Boeing
wide-body
jets
on long-haul routes, and uses
Airbus A320 family
narrow-body aircraft
on short-haul routes. Air France introduced the
Airbus A380
on 20 November 2009 with service from Paris to
New York
. Air France Hop (formerly HOP!) operates the majority of its regional domestic and European scheduled services with a fleet of
regional jet
aircraft.

which flew the world's first scheduled passenger-carrying
fixed-wing
flights within France in 1913.

Air France was formed on 30 August 1933 as a merger of five existing airlines:
[
16
]
Compagnie Générale Aéropostale
, which was founded in 1918 as Société des lignes Latécoère and, in some sources, the earliest lineage of Air France is stated to be 1918;
[
17
]
[
18
]
Société Générale des Transports Aériens
(SGTA), which was founded in 1919;
Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne
(CIDNA), which was founded in 1920;
Air Union
, which was founded in 1923 and formed from the merger of Compagnie des Messageries Aériennes (CMA), which absorbed CGT, and
Grands Express Aériens
; and
Air Orient
, which was founded in 1929.
[
19
]
[
20
]
[

]
[
22
]
SGTA was the first commercial passenger airline company in France; founded as Lignes Aériennes Farman in 1919, it began a weekly service between Paris and Brussels on 22 March 1919, the world's first international commercial aviation service.
[
23
]
Société des lignes Latécoère began
airmail
services in 1924.
[
24
]
These airlines built extensive networks across Europe, to
French colonies
in North Africa and farther afield prior to their merger into Air France in 1933.
Air France Operated their Boeing 737-300s in 1991 until 2003. In December 31, 2003 Air France Retires Their Boeing 737-300s.
In 1936, Air France added French-built twin engine
Potez 62
aircraft to its fleet featuring a two-compartment cabin that could accommodate 14 to 16 passengers. A high-wing monoplane, it had a wooden fuselage with composite coating while the wings were fabric-covered with a metal leading edge. Equipped with Hispano-Suiza V-engines, they were used on routes in Europe, South America and the Far East. Although cruising at only 280 km/h (175 mph), the Potez 62 was a robust and reliable workhorse for Air France and remained in service until the
Second World War
with one used by the
Free French Air Force
.

During World War II, Air France moved its operations to
Casablanca
, Morocco. On 26 June 1945, all of France's
air transport
companies were
nationalised
.
[
26
]
On 29 December 1945, a decree of the
French Government
granted Air France the management of the entire French air transport network.
[
27
]
Air France appointed its first
flight attendants
in 1946. The same year the airline opened its first air terminal at
Les Invalides
in central Paris. It was linked to
Paris Le Bourget Airport
, Air France's first operations and engineering base, by coach. At that time the network covered 160,000 km, claimed to be the longest in the world.
[
28
]
Société Nationale Air France was set up on 1 January 1946.
European schedules were initially operated by a fleet of
Douglas DC-3
aircraft. On 1 July 1946, Air France started direct flights between Paris and New York via refuelling stops at
Shannon
and
Gander
.
Douglas DC-4
piston
-engine
airliners
covered the route in just under 20 hours.

In September 1947, Air France's network stretched east from New York, Fort de France and Buenos Aires to Shanghai.

Between 1947 and 1965, the airline operated
Lockheed Constellations
on passenger and cargo services worldwide.
[
29
]
In 1946 and 1948, respectively, the French government authorised the creation of two private airlines:
Transports Aériens Internationaux
– later
Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux
– (TAI) and SATI. In 1949, the latter became part of
Union Aéromaritime de Transport
(UAT), a private French international airline.
[
28
]
[
30
]
Compagnie Nationale Air France
was created by
act of parliament
on 16 June 1948. Initially, the government held 70%. In subsequent years, the
French state
's direct and indirect shareholdings reached almost 100%. In mid 2002, the state held 54%.
[
28
]
[

]
On 4 August 1948,
Max Hymans
was appointed the president. During his 13-year
tenure
he would implement modernisation practices centred on the introduction of
jet aircraft
. In 1949, the company became a co-founder of
Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques (SITA)
, an airline telecommunications services company.
[

]
Jet age reorganisation
[
edit
]
In 1952, Air France moved its operations and engineering base to the new
Orly Airport
South terminal. By then the network covered 250,000 km.
[
28
]
Air France entered the jet age in August 1953, flying the original, short-lived
de Havilland Comet
series 1A Paris-Rome-Beirut.
In the mid 1950s, it also operated the
Vickers Viscount
turboprop, with twelve entering service between May 1953 and August 1954 on the European routes. On 26 September 1953, the government instructed Air France to share long-distance routes with new private airlines. This was followed by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport's imposition of an
accord
on Air France,
Aigle Azur
,
TAI
and
UAT
, under which some routes to Africa, Asia and the Pacific region were transferred to private carriers.
[
28
]
On 23 February 1960, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport transferred Air France's domestic monopoly to Air Inter. To compensate for the loss of its domestic network Air France was given a stake in Air Inter. The following day Air France was instructed to share African routes with
Air Afrique
and
UAT
.
[
28
]
[

]
The airline started uninterrupted
jet
operations in 1960 with the
Sud Aviation Caravelle
and the
Boeing 707
;
[
28
]
jet airliners cut travel times in half and improved comfort.
[

]
Air France later became an early
Boeing 747
operator and eventually had one of the world's largest
Boeing 747
fleets.
Air France Caravelle in 1977
On 1 February 1963, the government formalised division of routes between Air France and its
private sector
rivals. Air France was to withdraw services to West Africa (except
Senegal
), Central Africa (except
Burundi
and
Rwanda
), Southern Africa (including
South Africa
),
Libya
in North Africa,
Bahrain
and
Oman
in the Middle East, Sri Lanka (then known as
Ceylon
) in South Asia, Indonesia,
Malaysia
and Singapore in Southeast Asia, Australia,
New Zealand
as well as
New Caledonia
and
Tahiti
. These routes were allocated to the new
Union de Transports Aériens
(UTA), a new private airline resulting from the merger of TAI and UAT. UTA also got exclusive rights between Japan,
New Caledonia
and
New Zealand
, South Africa and
Réunion
island in the Indian Ocean, as well as Los Angeles and Tahiti.

In 1974, Air France began shifting the bulk of operations to the new Charles de Gaulle Airport north of Paris. By the early 1980s, only
Corsica
, Martinique,
Guadeloupe
, most services to
French Guiana
, Réunion, the
Maghreb
region, Eastern Europe (except the
USSR
), Southern Europe (except
Greece
and Italy), and one daily service to New York (JFK) remained at Orly. In 1974, Air France also became the world's first operator of the
Airbus A300
twin-engine
widebody
plane,
Airbus Industrie
's first commercial airliner for which it was a launch customer.

Concorde service and rivalry
[

in 2003
On 21 January 1976, Air France operated its inaugural
supersonic transport
(SST) service on the Paris (Charles de Gaulle) to
Rio
(via
Dakar
) route with
Anglo-French
BAC-Aérospatiale Concorde
F-BVFA. Supersonic services from Paris (CDG) to
Washington Dulles International Airport
began on 24 May 1976, also with F-BVFA. Service to
New York
(JFK) – the only remaining Concorde service until its end – commenced on 22 November 1977. Paris to New York was flown in 3 hours 23 minutes, at about twice the
speed of sound
. Approval for flights to the United States was initially withheld due to noise protests. Eventually, services to
Mexico City
via Washington, D.C., were started. Air France became one of only two airlines –
British Airways
being the other – to regularly operate supersonic services, and continued daily transatlantic Concorde service until late May 2003.
[
34
]
By 1983, Air France's
golden jubilee
, the workforce numbered more than 34,000, its fleet about 100
jet aircraft
(including 33
Boeing 747s
) and its 634,400 km network served 150 destinations in 73 countries. This made Air France the fourth-largest scheduled passenger airline in the world, as well as the second-largest scheduled freight carrier.
[
28
]
Air France also codeshared with regional French airlines,
TAT
being the most prominent. TAT would later operate several regional international routes on behalf of Air France.
[
35
]
In 1983, Air France began passenger flights to
South Korea
, being the first European airline to do so.
[
36
]
In 1986, the government relaxed its policy of dividing traffic rights for scheduled services between Air France, Air Inter and UTA, without route overlaps between them. The decision opened some of Air France's most lucrative routes on which it had enjoyed a government-sanctioned monopoly since 1963 and which were within its exclusive sphere of influence, to rival airlines, notably UTA. The changes enabled UTA to launch scheduled services to new destinations within Air France's sphere, in competition with that airline.
[
37
]
[
38
]
[
39
]
Paris-San Francisco became the first route UTA served in competition with Air France non-stop from Paris. Air France responded by extending some non-stop Paris-Los Angeles services to
Papeete
, Tahiti, which competed with UTA on Los Angeles-Papeete. UTA's ability to secure traffic rights outside its traditional sphere in competition with Air France was the result of a campaign to
lobby
the government to enable it to grow faster, becoming more dynamic and more
profitable
. This infuriated Air France.
[
40
]
In 1987, Air France together with
Lufthansa
,
Iberia
and
SAS
founded
Amadeus
, an IT company (also known as a
GDS
) that would enable travel agencies to sell the founders and other airlines' products from a single system.
[
41
]
In 1988, Air France was a launch customer for the
fly-by-wire
(FBW) Airbus A320 narrow-body twin, along with Air Inter and
British Caledonian
. It became the first airline to take delivery of the
A320
in March 1988, and along with Air Inter, became the first airlines to introduce A320 service on short-haul routes.
[
42
]
Acquisitions and privatisation
[
edit
]
On 12 January 1990, the operations of government-owned Air France, semi-public Air Inter and wholly private
Union de Transports Aériens
(UTA) were merged into an enlarged Air France.
[
28
]
Air France's acquisition of UTA and Air Inter was part of an early 1990s government plan to create a unified,
national air carrier
with the
economies of scale
and global reach to counter potential threats from the
liberalisation
of the
European Union
's internal air transport market.
[
43
]
On 25 July 1994, a new holding company, Groupe Air France, was set up by decree. Groupe Air France became operational on 1 September 1994. It acquired the Air France group's majority shareholdings in Air France and Air Inter (subsequently renamed Air Inter Europe). On 31 August 1994,
Stephen Wolf
, a former
United Airlines
CEO, was appointed adviser to the Air France group's chairman
Christian Blanc
. Wolf was credited with the introduction of Air France's
hub and spoke
operation at Paris Charles de Gaulle. Wolf resigned in 1996 to take over as CEO at
US Airways
.
[
44
]
[
45
]
In 1997, Air Inter Europe was absorbed into Air France. On 19 February 1999, French Prime Minister
Lionel Jospin
's
Plural Left
government approved Air France's partial
privatisation
. Its
shares
were listed on the Paris
stock exchange
on 22 February 1999. In June 1999, Air France and
Delta Air Lines
formed a bilateral
transatlantic
partnership
. On 22 June 2000, this expanded into the
SkyTeam
global
airline alliance
.

Air France–KLM merger
[
edit
]
On 30 September 2003, Air France and
Netherlands
-based
KLM
Royal Dutch Airlines announced the merger of the two airlines, with the new company to be known as Air France–KLM. The merger took place on 5 May 2004. At that point former Air France shareholders owned 81% of the new firm (44% owned by the French state, 37% by private shareholders), former KLM shareholders the rest. The decision of the
Jean-Pierre Raffarin
government to reduce the French state's shareholding in the former Air France group from 54.4% to 44% of the newly created Air France–KLM Group effectively privatised the new airline. In December 2004, the state sold 18.4% of its equity in Air France–KLM. The state's shareholding in Air France–KLM subsequently fell to just under 20%.
[
46
]
Air France–KLM became the largest airline in the world in terms of operating
revenues
, and third-largest (largest in Europe) in passenger kilometres.
[
46
]
Although owned by a single company, Air France and KLM continued to fly under their own
brand names
. Air France–KLM remained part of SkyTeam alliance, which then included
Aeroflot
,
Delta Air Lines
,
Aeroméxico
,
Korean Air
,
Czech Airlines
,
Alitalia
,
Northwest Airlines
,
China Southern Airlines
,
China Eastern Airlines
,
China Airlines
,
Air Europa
,
Continental Airlines
,
Garuda Indonesia
,
Vietnam Airlines
,
Saudia
,
Aerolineas Argentinas
, and
XiamenAir
. As of March 2004, the group employed 71,654 people.
[
47
]
As of March 2007, the group employed 102,422 personnel.
[
46
]
On 17 October 2007, the creation of a profit and revenue-sharing transatlantic joint venture between Air France-KLM and Delta Air Lines was announced during a press conference at Air France-KLM's headquarters. The venture became effective on 29 March 2008. It aimed to exploit transatlantic opportunities to capture a major share of long-haul business traffic from
London Heathrow
, which opened to unrestricted competition on that day as a result of the "
Open Skies
"
pact
between the EU and US. It was envisaged that Air France and
Delta
would begin nine daily round trips between London-Heathrow and destinations in the US, including a daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service by Air France. Once the new Air France-Delta venture received
antitrust immunity
, it was to be extended to the other two transatlantic SkyTeam partners, enabling all four partners to codeshare flights as well as to share revenue and profit.
[
48
]
[
49
]
The new transatlantic joint venture marks the Air France-KLM Group's second major expansion in the London market, following the launch of
CityJet
-operated short-haul services from
London City Airport
that have been aimed at business travellers in the
City
's
financial services
industry.
[
48
]
However, the daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service was not as successful as hoped, and was discontinued in November 2008.
[
50
]
On 12 January 2012, Air France-KLM announced a three-year transformation plan, called Transform 2015, to restore profitability. The plan was to restore competitiveness through cost-cutting, restructuring the short- and medium-haul operations and rapidly reducing debt. The main objective of this plan was to turn Air France-KLM back into a world player by 2015. Air France had been losing 700 million euros a year. As the financial results of 2011 demonstrated, the long-haul operations, also subject to increasing competition, would not be able to offset these losses. On 22 February 2012, Air France released its plan for the summer schedule. Because of the uncertain economic environment, Air France-KLM set a limit of 1.4% maximum increase in capacity from 25 March 2012 to 28 October 2012.
[
51
]
[
52
]
[
53
]
On 21 June 2012, Air France-KLM had announced its decision to cut just under 10% of the total 53,000 workforce (about 5,000 jobs) by the end of 2013 in an attempt to restore profitability. The airline expected to lose 1,700 jobs through natural turnover and the rest by voluntary redundancies.
[
54
]
As of August 2012, the Transform 2015 plan was accepted by ground staff and pilot unions but rejected by cabin crew unions.
[
55
]
At the beginning of July 2012, it was announced that Air France-KLM found partners for the new African start-up airline Air France, which was co-founded by six countries in Central Africa to replace the former
Air Afrique
. But several problems and two partners, who decided to back out, delayed the implementation of the project. Following its launch, Air France announced it would commence operations in 2013.
[
56
]
In September 2013, Air France introduced a brand new Economy product along with an improved Premium Economy seat and service. It is expected that the new improvements would be fitted on aircraft from June 2014 onwards.
[
57
]
In October 2013, Air France-KLM announced it was writing off the 25% stake in Alitalia, as it was hesitant the struggling carrier would obtain the 300 million euros in financing. The group has denied Alitalia of additional funds as it is currently struggling to restructure itself to profitability with the Transform 2015 plan.
[
58
]
In December 2013, Air France announced that Cityjet no longer meets the short haul needs of the group and is in the process of closing a deal with German firm Intro Aviation by the end of Q1 of 2014.
[
59
]
In 2014, the airline was targeted by a negative publicity campaign, spearheaded by
PETA
, for being the only major airline that permits the transport of primates for research.
[
60
]
[
61
]
[
62
]
[
63
]
In 2022, the airline announced it would stop transporting nonhuman primates.
[
64
]
On 4 February 2014, the new business product was unveiled, featuring a fully flat bed from Zodiac Aerospace. The seat was fitted on Boeing 777 aircraft from June 2014 onwards.
[
65
]
In September 2014, Air France announced it would sell a 3 per cent stake in travel technology company
Amadeus IT Group
for $438 million.
[
66
]
Late in 2015, Air France faced a financial crisis, which was exacerbated by a pilot's strike against the airline. The airline answered the strike by announcing it would cut some 2,900 jobs.
[
67
]
In December 2015, Air France announced the retirement of its last
Boeing 747-400
with a special scenic flight on 14 January 2016. The airline operated the 747 in several variants since 1970.
[
68
]
In January 2017, Air France received its first Boeing 787–9. In November, CityJet no longer operated on Air France flights and the affected destinations were served by Air France and HOP! from then on.
[
69
]
In July 2017, Air France-KLM entered into a multi-airline strategic partnership with
Delta Air Lines
,
China Eastern Airlines
and
Virgin Atlantic
, solidifying the existing ties between the carriers. Under the agreement Delta and China Eastern would each buy 10% of Air France-KLM, while Air France-KLM would buy 31% of Virgin Atlantic.
[
70
]
In December 2019, the purchase of Virgin Atlantic was cancelled.
[
71
]
Air France announced it would terminate services to Iran from September 2018, explaining the concern that the route to Iran is no longer commercially viable due to the redefined
US sanctions
.
[

In December 2018,
Anne Rigail
was appointed as Executive Director of the company.

Corporate affairs and identity
[

Air France's head office is located in the Roissypôle complex on the grounds of
Charles de Gaulle Airport
and in the commune of
Tremblay-en-France
, Seine-Saint-Denis, near the city of Paris.
[
74
]
Wil S. Hylton
of
The New York Times
described the facility as "a huge white box that squats near the runways at Charles de Gaulle Airport."
[
75
]
The 130,000-square-metre (1,400,000 sq ft) complex was completed in December 1995. The French firm Groupement d'Etudes et de Méthodes d'Ordonnancement (GEMO) managed the project. The architect was
Valode & Pistre
and the design consultants were Sechaud-Boyssut and Trouvin. The project cost 137,000,000 euros
[
76
]
(less than 700 million
francs
[

For about 30 years prior to December 1995, Air France's headquarters were located in a tower adjacent to the
Gare Montparnasse
rail station in the
Montparnasse
area and the
15th arrondissement of Paris
.

taking 50,000 square metres (540,000 sq ft) of space inside the hotel, office, and shopping complex on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport.
[

Air France Cargo Asie Boeing 747-200F
Owing to the
disputed status
of
Taiwan
, Air France could not operate flights to the island under its own name. In 1993, its subsidiary,
Air Charter
, began operating flights between Paris and
Taipei
via Hong Kong,
[
106
]
but after Air Charter ceased operations in 1998, a subsidiary called
Air France Asie
was established.
[
107
]
The airline was one of a number of airline subsidiaries flying under the "Asia" name with the purpose of flying to Taiwan, which included
Japan Asia Airways
(a
Japan Airlines
subsidiary),
KLM Asia
,
British Asia Airways
,
Swissair Asia
, and
Australia Asia Airlines
(a
Qantas
subsidiary).
The livery of Air France Asie differed from that of Air France by having blue and white stripes on the tailfin, rather than blue, white and red ones, representing the
French Tricolour
. Air France Asie used two Airbus A340-200 aircraft, F-GLZD and F-GLZE, and two Boeing 747-428Ms, F-GISA and F-GISC. Similarly,
Air France Cargo Asie
used a 747–200 Combi (for passengers and freight), F-GCBH) or the all-cargo (F-GCBL, F-GPAN and F-GBOX). Air France Asie ceased operations in 2004 while Air France Cargo Asie ceased operations in 2007.
In 2010, Air France migrated from an internally managed
passenger service system
(Alpha3) that manages reservation, inventory and pricing to an external system (Altéa) managed by
Amadeus
. In rail ventures, Air France and
Veolia
are looking into jointly operating
high-speed rail
services in Europe. Routes have become available to operators in accordance with European rail liberalisation on 1 January 2010.
[
108
]
Air France's present livery is a "Eurowhite" scheme, comprising a white fuselage with the blue Air France title and design. The tail is white with a series of parallel red and blue lines across the tail at an angle, and a small European flag at the top. The engines have the old Air France (and formerly Air Orient) logo painted on, though only on newer
[
when?
]
aircraft. This livery has been in use since the late 1970s. Prior to the "Eurowhite" livery, Air France aircraft had a bare-metal underside, extending up to a blue cheat-line that ran across the cabin windows. Above the cheat-line the fuselage was again white, with Air France titles and a French flag. The tail was white with two thick blue lines, which tapered from the rear of the tail and met at a point towards the front bottom. This basic livery, with minor variations, would appear on all post-war Air France aircraft until the late 1970s.
In January 2009, to coincide with Air France's new logo, a new livery was unveiled.
[
109
]
Air France rolled out its new livery on 11 February 2009. The 2009 livery saw the tail slightly changed; there are now three blue bars running down instead of the previous four. The bars also now curve at the bottom, reflecting the design of the logo. In 2017, Air France received their first
Boeing 787
with a revised livery which included larger Air France titles. In 2019, Air France revised the livery with the arrival of the
Airbus A350
, with blue winglets featuring the
hippocampe ailé
. This coincided with reintroducing the practice of naming each of their aircraft, with the name written under the front cabin windows; the first A350-900 was named after the city of
Toulouse
. In 2021, Air France once again revised the livery, while most elements were still identical to the 2019 version, the
hippocampe ailé
icon is now added between cockpit windows and front cabin doors, replacing the SkyTeam logo. The aircraft type, SkyTeam logo and Air France-KLM logo now feature at the back of the fuselage.

The new official song played before and after Air France flights (during boarding and after landing) is 'The World Can Be Yours' by
Telepopmusik

The Chemical Brothers
in 1999 to
Telepopmusik
in 2010.

Air France launched a new ad campaign in 2015 designed by

Air France uniforms denote the ranks for the flight attendants. Two silver sleeve stripes denote a senior Purser. One silver sleeve stripe denote a Purser. Flight attendants do not have any sleeve stripes. The female cabin crew uniforms feature the stripes on the breast pocket rather than the sleeve for their male counterparts. Air France's current uniforms were created by French fashion designer

Upon its formation, Air France adopted the
seahorse
logo of its predecessor Air Orient, known as the
hippocampe ailé
(sometimes derisively called "la crevette" – or shrimp – by its employees), as its insignia.
[
114
]
[
115

Prior to the Air France-KLM merger, the
hippocampe ailé
was used on the nose section of aircraft next to the Groupe Air France title; after the merger, the Air France-KLM logo was substituted at the nose area, and the
hippocampe ailé
was relocated to engine nacelles. The acronym "AF" has also featured prominently on the airline's flag and its signage. On 7 January 2009, Air France officially changed its logo to a red stripe.

On 16 September 2011,
Air France-KLM
announced orders for 50 Airbus A350s and Boeing 787s with 60 options, to be operated by both Air France and KLM.
[
171
]
Air France-KLM committed 37 Boeing 787s, 25 directly and 12 leased, of which 16 are earmarked for Air France to replace some A340-300s, subsequent A340s would be replaced by Airbus A350s from 2019. The first Boeing 787-9 entered into service with KLM in 2015 and with Air France in early 2017.
[
172
]
Air France-KLM had 28 A350s on firm order.
[
173
]
In June 2019, the group announced a revision of the original order with Air France becoming the sole operator of the Airbus A350, with KLM only operating Boeing 787s, including six originally earmarked for Air France. The first Airbus A350-900
(named Toulouse
) was delivered to Air France on 27 September 2019.
[

[
175
]
Air France would have to cut emission by half by 2024 for flights within mainland France as part of conditions of a €7 billion state support from France.

An invitation-only card called Club 2000 is attributed to some VIPs, celebrities and politicians.

Incidents and accidents
[
edit
]
Air France has been involved in a number of major accidents and incidents. The airline's deadliest accident occurred on 1 June 2009, when
Air France Flight 447
, an
Airbus A330-203
, crashed into the
Atlantic Ocean
killing all 228 on board.
[
215
]
Another notable crash in Air France's records occurred on 25 July 2000, when
Air France Flight 4590
, a
Concorde
, caught fire immediately after take-off due to metal debris on the runway damaging a tire, which produced debris that struck a fuel tank on the underside of the wing, catching fire.
[
216
]
The fire started to disintegrate the aircraft's left wing and the plane started to tilt to its side. This caused the aircraft to crash into a hotel on the outskirts of
Gonesse
, France. All 109 passengers and crew inside Flight 4590, as well as four people inside the hotel, were killed.

As of 2013, Air France served 29 destinations in France and operates worldwide scheduled passenger and cargo services to 201 destinations in 78 countries (93 including [overseas departments and territories of France](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_departments_and_territories_of_France "Overseas departments and territories of France")) and also carried 46,803,000 passengers in 2019. The airline's global [hub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_hub "Airline hub") is at [Charles de Gaulle Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle_Airport "Charles de Gaulle Airport"), with [Orly Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orly_Airport "Orly Airport") as the primary domestic hub. Air France's [corporate headquarters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_headquarters "Corporate headquarters"), previously in [Montparnasse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montparnasse "Montparnasse"), Paris,[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-8) are located at the [Roissypôle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roissyp%C3%B4le "Roissypôle") complex on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport, north of Paris.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-9)
Tracing its origins back to the 1910s, Air France was formed on 30 August 1933 through the merger of five existing airlines in France. During the [Cold War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War "Cold War"), from 1950 until 1990, it was one of the three main [Allied](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Control_Council "Allied Control Council") scheduled airlines operating in Germany at [West Berlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Berlin "West Berlin")'s [Tempelhof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Tempelhof_Airport#Postwar_commercial_use "Berlin Tempelhof Airport") and [Tegel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Tegel_Airport#Air_France "Berlin Tegel Airport") airports. In 1990, it acquired the operations of French domestic carrier [Air Inter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Inter "Air Inter") and international rival UTA – [Union de Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_de_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Union de Transports Aériens"). It merged with [KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM "KLM") to form Air France-KLM in 2003.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-10)
In 2018, Air France and its [regional](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_airline "Regional airline") subsidiary [Hop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Hop "Air France Hop") carried 51.4 million passengers.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-11) Air France operates a mixed fleet of [Airbus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus "Airbus") and [Boeing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing "Boeing") [wide-body](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-body_aircraft "Wide-body aircraft") [jets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft") on long-haul routes, and uses [Airbus A320 family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320_family "Airbus A320 family") [narrow-body aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-body_aircraft "Narrow-body aircraft") on short-haul routes. Air France introduced the [Airbus A380](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380 "Airbus A380") on 20 November 2009 with service from Paris to [New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport "John F. Kennedy International Airport"). Air France Hop (formerly HOP!) operates the majority of its regional domestic and European scheduled services with a fleet of [regional jet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_jet "Regional jet") aircraft.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-12)

The predecessor companies of Air France date back to [Compagnie générale transaérienne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compagnie_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_transa%C3%A9rienne "Compagnie générale transaérienne") (CGT), established in 1909,[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-14) which flew the world's first scheduled passenger-carrying [fixed-wing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-wing_aircraft "Fixed-wing aircraft") flights within France in 1913.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-15)\[*[page needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources "Wikipedia:Citing sources")*\] Air France was formed on 30 August 1933 as a merger of five existing airlines:[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-16) [Compagnie Générale Aéropostale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compagnie_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_A%C3%A9ropostale "Compagnie Générale Aéropostale"), which was founded in 1918 as Société des lignes Latécoère and, in some sources, the earliest lineage of Air France is stated to be 1918;[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-name="AAP1948"-17)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-18) [Société Générale des Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_des_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Société Générale des Transports Aériens") (SGTA), which was founded in 1919; [Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compagnie_Internationale_de_Navigation_A%C3%A9rienne "Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne") (CIDNA), which was founded in 1920; [Air Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Union "Air Union"), which was founded in 1923 and formed from the merger of Compagnie des Messageries Aériennes (CMA), which absorbed CGT, and [Grands Express Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grands_Express_A%C3%A9riens "Grands Express Aériens"); and [Air Orient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Orient "Air Orient"), which was founded in 1929.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-19)[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-21)[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-22) SGTA was the first commercial passenger airline company in France; founded as Lignes Aériennes Farman in 1919, it began a weekly service between Paris and Brussels on 22 March 1919, the world's first international commercial aviation service.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-23) Société des lignes Latécoère began [airmail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airmail "Airmail") services in 1924.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-24) These airlines built extensive networks across Europe, to [French colonies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_colonies "French colonies") in North Africa and farther afield prior to their merger into Air France in 1933.
Air France Operated their Boeing 737-300s in 1991 until 2003. In December 31, 2003 Air France Retires Their Boeing 737-300s.
In 1936, Air France added French-built twin engine [Potez 62](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potez_62 "Potez 62") aircraft to its fleet featuring a two-compartment cabin that could accommodate 14 to 16 passengers. A high-wing monoplane, it had a wooden fuselage with composite coating while the wings were fabric-covered with a metal leading edge. Equipped with Hispano-Suiza V-engines, they were used on routes in Europe, South America and the Far East. Although cruising at only 280 km/h (175 mph), the Potez 62 was a robust and reliable workhorse for Air France and remained in service until the [Second World War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World_War "Second World War") with one used by the [Free French Air Force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_French_Air_Force "Free French Air Force").[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-25)

During World War II, Air France moved its operations to [Casablanca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca "Casablanca"), Morocco. On 26 June 1945, all of France's [air transport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_transport "Air transport") companies were [nationalised](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalised "Nationalised").[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-26) On 29 December 1945, a decree of the [French Government](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Government "French Government") granted Air France the management of the entire French air transport network.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-27) Air France appointed its first [flight attendants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_attendant "Flight attendant") in 1946. The same year the airline opened its first air terminal at [Les Invalides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Invalides "Les Invalides") in central Paris. It was linked to [Paris Le Bourget Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Le_Bourget_Airport "Paris Le Bourget Airport"), Air France's first operations and engineering base, by coach. At that time the network covered 160,000 km, claimed to be the longest in the world.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Société Nationale Air France was set up on 1 January 1946.
European schedules were initially operated by a fleet of [Douglas DC-3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-3 "Douglas DC-3") aircraft. On 1 July 1946, Air France started direct flights between Paris and New York via refuelling stops at [Shannon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_Airport "Shannon Airport") and [Gander](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gander_International_Airport "Gander International Airport"). [Douglas DC-4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-4 "Douglas DC-4") [piston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston "Piston")\-engine [airliners](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airliner "Airliner") covered the route in just under 20 hours.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) In September 1947, Air France's network stretched east from New York, Fort de France and Buenos Aires to Shanghai.

By 1948, Air France operated 130 aircraft, one of the largest fleets in the world.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Between 1947 and 1965, the airline operated [Lockheed Constellations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Constellation "Lockheed Constellation") on passenger and cargo services worldwide.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-29) In 1946 and 1948, respectively, the French government authorised the creation of two private airlines: [Transports Aériens Internationaux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transports_A%C3%A9riens_Intercontinentaux "Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux") – later [Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transports_A%C3%A9riens_Intercontinentaux "Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux") – (TAI) and SATI. In 1949, the latter became part of [Union Aéromaritime de Transport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_A%C3%A9romaritime_de_Transport "Union Aéromaritime de Transport") (UAT), a private French international airline.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-30)
**Compagnie Nationale Air France** was created by [act of parliament](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_parliament "Act of parliament") on 16 June 1948. Initially, the government held 70%. In subsequent years, the [French state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Government "French Government")'s direct and indirect shareholdings reached almost 100%. In mid 2002, the state held 54%.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-Dirigisme-31)
On 4 August 1948, [Max Hymans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Hymans "Max Hymans") was appointed the president. During his 13-year [tenure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenure "Tenure") he would implement modernisation practices centred on the introduction of [jet aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft"). In 1949, the company became a co-founder of [Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques (SITA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SITA_\(IT_company\) "SITA (IT company)"), an airline telecommunications services company.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)
### Jet age reorganisation
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: Jet age reorganisation")\]
In 1952, Air France moved its operations and engineering base to the new [Orly Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orly_Airport "Orly Airport") South terminal. By then the network covered 250,000 km.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France entered the jet age in August 1953, flying the original, short-lived [de Havilland Comet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Comet "De Havilland Comet") series 1A Paris-Rome-Beirut.
In the mid 1950s, it also operated the [Vickers Viscount](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Viscount "Vickers Viscount") turboprop, with twelve entering service between May 1953 and August 1954 on the European routes. On 26 September 1953, the government instructed Air France to share long-distance routes with new private airlines. This was followed by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport's imposition of an [accord](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract "Contract") on Air France, [Aigle Azur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aigle_Azur "Aigle Azur"), [TAI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transports_A%C3%A9riens_Intercontinentaux "Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux") and [UAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_A%C3%A9romaritime_de_Transport "Union Aéromaritime de Transport"), under which some routes to Africa, Asia and the Pacific region were transferred to private carriers.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)
On 23 February 1960, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport transferred Air France's domestic monopoly to Air Inter. To compensate for the loss of its domestic network Air France was given a stake in Air Inter. The following day Air France was instructed to share African routes with [Air Afrique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Afrique "Air Afrique") and [UAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_A%C3%A9romaritime_de_Transport "Union Aéromaritime de Transport").[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-Dirigisme-31)
The airline started uninterrupted [jet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft") operations in 1960 with the [Sud Aviation Caravelle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sud_Aviation_Caravelle "Sud Aviation Caravelle") and the [Boeing 707](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_707 "Boeing 707");[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) jet airliners cut travel times in half and improved comfort.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France later became an early [Boeing 747](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747 "Boeing 747") operator and eventually had one of the world's largest [Boeing 747](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747 "Boeing 747") fleets.

On 1 February 1963, the government formalised division of routes between Air France and its [private sector](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_sector "Private sector") rivals. Air France was to withdraw services to West Africa (except [Senegal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senegal "Senegal")), Central Africa (except [Burundi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burundi "Burundi") and [Rwanda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda "Rwanda")), Southern Africa (including [South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa "South Africa")), [Libya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya "Libya") in North Africa, [Bahrain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain "Bahrain") and [Oman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman "Oman") in the Middle East, Sri Lanka (then known as [Ceylon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceylon "Ceylon")) in South Asia, Indonesia, [Malaysia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia "Malaysia") and Singapore in Southeast Asia, Australia, [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand") as well as [New Caledonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Caledonia "New Caledonia") and [Tahiti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahiti "Tahiti"). These routes were allocated to the new [Union de Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_de_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Union de Transports Aériens") (UTA), a new private airline resulting from the merger of TAI and UAT. UTA also got exclusive rights between Japan, [New Caledonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Caledonia "New Caledonia") and [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand"), South Africa and [Réunion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9union "Réunion") island in the Indian Ocean, as well as Los Angeles and Tahiti.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-Dirigisme-31)[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-32)
In 1974, Air France began shifting the bulk of operations to the new Charles de Gaulle Airport north of Paris. By the early 1980s, only [Corsica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsica "Corsica"), Martinique, [Guadeloupe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadeloupe "Guadeloupe"), most services to [French Guiana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana "French Guiana"), Réunion, the [Maghreb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maghreb "Maghreb") region, Eastern Europe (except the [USSR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR "USSR")), Southern Europe (except [Greece](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece "Greece") and Italy), and one daily service to New York (JFK) remained at Orly. In 1974, Air France also became the world's first operator of the [Airbus A300](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A300 "Airbus A300") twin-engine [widebody](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widebody "Widebody") plane, [Airbus Industrie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Industrie "Airbus Industrie")'s first commercial airliner for which it was a launch customer.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-33)
### Concorde service and rivalry
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: Concorde service and rivalry")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Air_France_Concorde_Jonsson.jpg)
Air France [Concorde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde "Concorde") at [Charles de Gaulle Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle_Airport "Charles de Gaulle Airport") in 2003
On 21 January 1976, Air France operated its inaugural [supersonic transport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_transport "Supersonic transport") (SST) service on the Paris (Charles de Gaulle) to [Rio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro "Rio de Janeiro") (via [Dakar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakar "Dakar")) route with [Anglo-French](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_relations "France–United Kingdom relations") [BAC-Aérospatiale Concorde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde "Concorde") F-BVFA. Supersonic services from Paris (CDG) to [Washington Dulles International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Dulles_International_Airport "Washington Dulles International Airport") began on 24 May 1976, also with F-BVFA. Service to [New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport "John F. Kennedy International Airport") (JFK) – the only remaining Concorde service until its end – commenced on 22 November 1977. Paris to New York was flown in 3 hours 23 minutes, at about twice the [speed of sound](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound "Speed of sound"). Approval for flights to the United States was initially withheld due to noise protests. Eventually, services to [Mexico City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City "Mexico City") via Washington, D.C., were started. Air France became one of only two airlines – [British Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways "British Airways") being the other – to regularly operate supersonic services, and continued daily transatlantic Concorde service until late May 2003.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-34)
By 1983, Air France's [golden jubilee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_jubilee "Golden jubilee"), the workforce numbered more than 34,000, its fleet about 100 [jet aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft") (including 33 [Boeing 747s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747 "Boeing 747")) and its 634,400 km network served 150 destinations in 73 countries. This made Air France the fourth-largest scheduled passenger airline in the world, as well as the second-largest scheduled freight carrier.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France also codeshared with regional French airlines, [TAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAT_\(French_airline\) "TAT (French airline)") being the most prominent. TAT would later operate several regional international routes on behalf of Air France.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-35) In 1983, Air France began passenger flights to [South Korea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea "South Korea"), being the first European airline to do so.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-36)
In 1986, the government relaxed its policy of dividing traffic rights for scheduled services between Air France, Air Inter and UTA, without route overlaps between them. The decision opened some of Air France's most lucrative routes on which it had enjoyed a government-sanctioned monopoly since 1963 and which were within its exclusive sphere of influence, to rival airlines, notably UTA. The changes enabled UTA to launch scheduled services to new destinations within Air France's sphere, in competition with that airline.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-37)[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-38)[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-39)
Paris-San Francisco became the first route UTA served in competition with Air France non-stop from Paris. Air France responded by extending some non-stop Paris-Los Angeles services to [Papeete](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papeete "Papeete"), Tahiti, which competed with UTA on Los Angeles-Papeete. UTA's ability to secure traffic rights outside its traditional sphere in competition with Air France was the result of a campaign to [lobby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying "Lobbying") the government to enable it to grow faster, becoming more dynamic and more [profitable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_\(accounting\) "Profit (accounting)"). This infuriated Air France.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-40)
In 1987, Air France together with [Lufthansa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufthansa "Lufthansa"), [Iberia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberia_\(airline\) "Iberia (airline)") and [SAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS_Group "SAS Group") founded [Amadeus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeus_IT_Group "Amadeus IT Group"), an IT company (also known as a [GDS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_reservations_system "Computer reservations system")) that would enable travel agencies to sell the founders and other airlines' products from a single system.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-41)
In 1988, Air France was a launch customer for the [fly-by-wire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly-by-wire "Fly-by-wire") (FBW) Airbus A320 narrow-body twin, along with Air Inter and [British Caledonian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Caledonian "British Caledonian"). It became the first airline to take delivery of the [A320](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A320 "A320") in March 1988, and along with Air Inter, became the first airlines to introduce A320 service on short-haul routes.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-42)

On 12 January 1990, the operations of government-owned Air France, semi-public Air Inter and wholly private [Union de Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_de_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Union de Transports Aériens") (UTA) were merged into an enlarged Air France.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France's acquisition of UTA and Air Inter was part of an early 1990s government plan to create a unified, [national air carrier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_carrier "National carrier") with the [economies of scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale "Economies of scale") and global reach to counter potential threats from the [liberalisation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalization "Liberalization") of the [European Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union "European Union")'s internal air transport market.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-43)
On 25 July 1994, a new holding company, Groupe Air France, was set up by decree. Groupe Air France became operational on 1 September 1994. It acquired the Air France group's majority shareholdings in Air France and Air Inter (subsequently renamed Air Inter Europe). On 31 August 1994, [Stephen Wolf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolf "Stephen Wolf"), a former [United Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines "United Airlines") CEO, was appointed adviser to the Air France group's chairman [Christian Blanc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Blanc "Christian Blanc"). Wolf was credited with the introduction of Air France's [hub and spoke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_and_spoke "Hub and spoke") operation at Paris Charles de Gaulle. Wolf resigned in 1996 to take over as CEO at [US Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways "US Airways").[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-44)[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-45)
In 1997, Air Inter Europe was absorbed into Air France. On 19 February 1999, French Prime Minister [Lionel Jospin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Jospin "Lionel Jospin")'s [Plural Left](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_Left "Plural Left") government approved Air France's partial [privatisation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatisation "Privatisation"). Its [shares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ownership_equity "Ownership equity") were listed on the Paris [stock exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_exchange "Stock exchange") on 22 February 1999. In June 1999, Air France and [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines") formed a bilateral [transatlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_flight "Transatlantic flight") [partnership](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles_of_Partnership "Articles of Partnership"). On 22 June 2000, this expanded into the [SkyTeam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTeam "SkyTeam") global [airline alliance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_alliance "Airline alliance").[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46)[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)
### Air France–KLM merger
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Air France–KLM merger")\]
Main article: [Air France–KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France%E2%80%93KLM "Air France–KLM")
On 30 September 2003, Air France and [Netherlands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands "Netherlands")\-based [KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM "KLM") Royal Dutch Airlines announced the merger of the two airlines, with the new company to be known as Air France–KLM. The merger took place on 5 May 2004. At that point former Air France shareholders owned 81% of the new firm (44% owned by the French state, 37% by private shareholders), former KLM shareholders the rest. The decision of the [Jean-Pierre Raffarin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Pierre_Raffarin "Jean-Pierre Raffarin") government to reduce the French state's shareholding in the former Air France group from 54.4% to 44% of the newly created Air France–KLM Group effectively privatised the new airline. In December 2004, the state sold 18.4% of its equity in Air France–KLM. The state's shareholding in Air France–KLM subsequently fell to just under 20%.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46)
Air France–KLM became the largest airline in the world in terms of operating [revenues](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue "Revenue"), and third-largest (largest in Europe) in passenger kilometres.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46) Although owned by a single company, Air France and KLM continued to fly under their own [brand names](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_name "Brand name"). Air France–KLM remained part of SkyTeam alliance, which then included [Aeroflot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot "Aeroflot"), [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines"), [Aeroméxico](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerom%C3%A9xico "Aeroméxico"), [Korean Air](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air "Korean Air"), [Czech Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Airlines "Czech Airlines"), [Alitalia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alitalia "Alitalia"), [Northwest Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Airlines "Northwest Airlines"), [China Southern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Southern_Airlines "China Southern Airlines"), [China Eastern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines "China Eastern Airlines"), [China Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Airlines "China Airlines"), [Air Europa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Europa "Air Europa"), [Continental Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Airlines "Continental Airlines"), [Garuda Indonesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda_Indonesia "Garuda Indonesia"), [Vietnam Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_Airlines "Vietnam Airlines"), [Saudia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudia "Saudia"), [Aerolineas Argentinas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerolineas_Argentinas "Aerolineas Argentinas"), and [XiamenAir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XiamenAir "XiamenAir"). As of March 2004, the group employed 71,654 people.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-47) As of March 2007, the group employed 102,422 personnel.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46)
### Open Skies venture
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=7 "Edit section: Open Skies venture")\]
On 17 October 2007, the creation of a profit and revenue-sharing transatlantic joint venture between Air France-KLM and Delta Air Lines was announced during a press conference at Air France-KLM's headquarters. The venture became effective on 29 March 2008. It aimed to exploit transatlantic opportunities to capture a major share of long-haul business traffic from [London Heathrow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathrow_Airport "Heathrow Airport"), which opened to unrestricted competition on that day as a result of the "[Open Skies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Skies "Open Skies")" [pact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty "Treaty") between the EU and US. It was envisaged that Air France and [Delta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines") would begin nine daily round trips between London-Heathrow and destinations in the US, including a daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service by Air France. Once the new Air France-Delta venture received [antitrust immunity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law "United States antitrust law"), it was to be extended to the other two transatlantic SkyTeam partners, enabling all four partners to codeshare flights as well as to share revenue and profit.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FT_London_target-48)[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-49) The new transatlantic joint venture marks the Air France-KLM Group's second major expansion in the London market, following the launch of [CityJet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityJet "CityJet")\-operated short-haul services from [London City Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_City_Airport "London City Airport") that have been aimed at business travellers in the [City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London "City of London")'s [financial services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_services "Financial services") industry.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FT_London_target-48) However, the daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service was not as successful as hoped, and was discontinued in November 2008.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-50)
### 2010s
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=8 "Edit section: 2010s")\]
On 12 January 2012, Air France-KLM announced a three-year transformation plan, called Transform 2015, to restore profitability. The plan was to restore competitiveness through cost-cutting, restructuring the short- and medium-haul operations and rapidly reducing debt. The main objective of this plan was to turn Air France-KLM back into a world player by 2015. Air France had been losing 700 million euros a year. As the financial results of 2011 demonstrated, the long-haul operations, also subject to increasing competition, would not be able to offset these losses. On 22 February 2012, Air France released its plan for the summer schedule. Because of the uncertain economic environment, Air France-KLM set a limit of 1.4% maximum increase in capacity from 25 March 2012 to 28 October 2012.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-51)[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-52)[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-53)
On 21 June 2012, Air France-KLM had announced its decision to cut just under 10% of the total 53,000 workforce (about 5,000 jobs) by the end of 2013 in an attempt to restore profitability. The airline expected to lose 1,700 jobs through natural turnover and the rest by voluntary redundancies.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-54) As of August 2012, the Transform 2015 plan was accepted by ground staff and pilot unions but rejected by cabin crew unions.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-55)
At the beginning of July 2012, it was announced that Air France-KLM found partners for the new African start-up airline Air France, which was co-founded by six countries in Central Africa to replace the former [Air Afrique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Afrique "Air Afrique"). But several problems and two partners, who decided to back out, delayed the implementation of the project. Following its launch, Air France announced it would commence operations in 2013.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-56)
In September 2013, Air France introduced a brand new Economy product along with an improved Premium Economy seat and service. It is expected that the new improvements would be fitted on aircraft from June 2014 onwards.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-businesstraveller.com-57) In October 2013, Air France-KLM announced it was writing off the 25% stake in Alitalia, as it was hesitant the struggling carrier would obtain the 300 million euros in financing. The group has denied Alitalia of additional funds as it is currently struggling to restructure itself to profitability with the Transform 2015 plan.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-58)
In December 2013, Air France announced that Cityjet no longer meets the short haul needs of the group and is in the process of closing a deal with German firm Intro Aviation by the end of Q1 of 2014.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-59)
In 2014, the airline was targeted by a negative publicity campaign, spearheaded by [PETA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETA "PETA"), for being the only major airline that permits the transport of primates for research.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-60)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-61)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-62)[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-63) In 2022, the airline announced it would stop transporting nonhuman primates.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-64)
On 4 February 2014, the new business product was unveiled, featuring a fully flat bed from Zodiac Aerospace. The seat was fitted on Boeing 777 aircraft from June 2014 onwards.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-65) In September 2014, Air France announced it would sell a 3 per cent stake in travel technology company [Amadeus IT Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeus_IT_Group "Amadeus IT Group") for \$438 million.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-66)
Late in 2015, Air France faced a financial crisis, which was exacerbated by a pilot's strike against the airline. The airline answered the strike by announcing it would cut some 2,900 jobs.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-67) In December 2015, Air France announced the retirement of its last [Boeing 747-400](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747-400 "Boeing 747-400") with a special scenic flight on 14 January 2016. The airline operated the 747 in several variants since 1970.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-68)
In January 2017, Air France received its first Boeing 787–9. In November, CityJet no longer operated on Air France flights and the affected destinations were served by Air France and HOP! from then on.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-69)
In July 2017, Air France-KLM entered into a multi-airline strategic partnership with [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines"), [China Eastern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines "China Eastern Airlines") and [Virgin Atlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Atlantic "Virgin Atlantic"), solidifying the existing ties between the carriers. Under the agreement Delta and China Eastern would each buy 10% of Air France-KLM, while Air France-KLM would buy 31% of Virgin Atlantic.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-70) In December 2019, the purchase of Virgin Atlantic was cancelled.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-71)
Air France announced it would terminate services to Iran from September 2018, explaining the concern that the route to Iran is no longer commercially viable due to the redefined [US sanctions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions_against_Iran "United States sanctions against Iran").[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-72)
In December 2018, [Anne Rigail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Rigail "Anne Rigail") was appointed as Executive Director of the company.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-73)

Air France's head office is located in the Roissypôle complex on the grounds of [Charles de Gaulle Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle_Airport "Charles de Gaulle Airport") and in the commune of [Tremblay-en-France](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremblay-en-France "Tremblay-en-France"), Seine-Saint-Denis, near the city of Paris.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-74) [Wil S. Hylton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wil_S._Hylton "Wil S. Hylton") of *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")* described the facility as "a huge white box that squats near the runways at Charles de Gaulle Airport."[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-75)
The 130,000-square-metre (1,400,000 sq ft) complex was completed in December 1995. The French firm Groupement d'Etudes et de Méthodes d'Ordonnancement (GEMO) managed the project. The architect was [Valode & Pistre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valode_%26_Pistre "Valode & Pistre") and the design consultants were Sechaud-Boyssut and Trouvin. The project cost 137,000,000 euros[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-76) (less than 700 million [francs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_franc "French franc")[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-77)). The runways of the airport are visible from the building.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-78) The Air France Operations Control Centre (*OCC*, French: Centre de Contrôle des Opérations, *CCO*), which coordinates Air France flights worldwide, is situated at the AF head office.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-79)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-80)
For about 30 years prior to December 1995, Air France's headquarters were located in a tower adjacent to the [Gare Montparnasse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gare_Montparnasse "Gare Montparnasse") rail station in the [Montparnasse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montparnasse "Montparnasse") area and the [15th arrondissement of Paris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15th_arrondissement_of_Paris "15th arrondissement of Paris").[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-81) By 1991, two bids for the purchase of the Square Max Hymans building had been made.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-82) By 1992, the complex was sold to [Mutuelle générale de l'Éducation nationale](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mutuelle_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_de_l%27%C3%89ducation_nationale&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mutuelle générale de l'Éducation nationale (page does not exist)") \[[fr](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutuelle_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_de_l%27%C3%89ducation_nationale "fr:Mutuelle générale de l'Éducation nationale")\] (MGEN) for 1.6 billion [francs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_franc "French franc").[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-83) By that year, Air France had planned to move its head office to Roissypôle,[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-84) taking 50,000 square metres (540,000 sq ft) of space inside the hotel, office, and shopping complex on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport.[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-85) After Air France moved to Tremblay-en-France, the ownership of the former head office complex was transferred.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-86)
On a previous occasion, the head office was at *2 rue marbeuf* in the [8th arrondissement of Paris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th_arrondissement_of_Paris "8th arrondissement of Paris").[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-87)

Main article: [Air France Asie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Asie "Air France Asie")
Owing to the [disputed status](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Taiwan "Foreign relations of Taiwan") of [Taiwan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan "Taiwan"), Air France could not operate flights to the island under its own name. In 1993, its subsidiary, [Air Charter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Charter_International "Air Charter International"), began operating flights between Paris and [Taipei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taipei "Taipei") via Hong Kong,[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-106) but after Air Charter ceased operations in 1998, a subsidiary called **Air France Asie** was established.[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-107) The airline was one of a number of airline subsidiaries flying under the "Asia" name with the purpose of flying to Taiwan, which included [Japan Asia Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Asia_Airways "Japan Asia Airways") (a [Japan Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines "Japan Airlines") subsidiary), [KLM Asia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM_Asia "KLM Asia"), [British Asia Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Asia_Airways "British Asia Airways"), [Swissair Asia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Asia "Swissair Asia"), and [Australia Asia Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Asia_Airlines "Australia Asia Airlines") (a [Qantas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas "Qantas") subsidiary).
The livery of Air France Asie differed from that of Air France by having blue and white stripes on the tailfin, rather than blue, white and red ones, representing the [French Tricolour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Tricolour "French Tricolour"). Air France Asie used two Airbus A340-200 aircraft, F-GLZD and F-GLZE, and two Boeing 747-428Ms, F-GISA and F-GISC. Similarly, **Air France Cargo Asie** used a 747–200 Combi (for passengers and freight), F-GCBH) or the all-cargo (F-GCBL, F-GPAN and F-GBOX). Air France Asie ceased operations in 2004 while Air France Cargo Asie ceased operations in 2007.
### Outsourcing
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=17 "Edit section: Outsourcing")\]
In 2010, Air France migrated from an internally managed [passenger service system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_service_system "Passenger service system") (Alpha3) that manages reservation, inventory and pricing to an external system (Altéa) managed by [Amadeus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeus_IT_Group "Amadeus IT Group"). In rail ventures, Air France and [Veolia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veolia "Veolia") are looking into jointly operating [high-speed rail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail "High-speed rail") services in Europe. Routes have become available to operators in accordance with European rail liberalisation on 1 January 2010.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-108)
### Livery
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=18 "Edit section: Livery")\]
Air France's present livery is a "Eurowhite" scheme, comprising a white fuselage with the blue Air France title and design. The tail is white with a series of parallel red and blue lines across the tail at an angle, and a small European flag at the top. The engines have the old Air France (and formerly Air Orient) logo painted on, though only on newer\[*[when?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items "Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers")*\] aircraft. This livery has been in use since the late 1970s. Prior to the "Eurowhite" livery, Air France aircraft had a bare-metal underside, extending up to a blue cheat-line that ran across the cabin windows. Above the cheat-line the fuselage was again white, with Air France titles and a French flag. The tail was white with two thick blue lines, which tapered from the rear of the tail and met at a point towards the front bottom. This basic livery, with minor variations, would appear on all post-war Air France aircraft until the late 1970s.
In January 2009, to coincide with Air France's new logo, a new livery was unveiled.[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-109) Air France rolled out its new livery on 11 February 2009. The 2009 livery saw the tail slightly changed; there are now three blue bars running down instead of the previous four. The bars also now curve at the bottom, reflecting the design of the logo. In 2017, Air France received their first [Boeing 787](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_787 "Boeing 787") with a revised livery which included larger Air France titles. In 2019, Air France revised the livery with the arrival of the [Airbus A350](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A350 "Airbus A350"), with blue winglets featuring the *hippocampe ailé*. This coincided with reintroducing the practice of naming each of their aircraft, with the name written under the front cabin windows; the first A350-900 was named after the city of [Toulouse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse "Toulouse"). In 2021, Air France once again revised the livery, while most elements were still identical to the 2019 version, the *hippocampe ailé* icon is now added between cockpit windows and front cabin doors, replacing the SkyTeam logo. The aircraft type, SkyTeam logo and Air France-KLM logo now feature at the back of the fuselage.

### Marketing
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=19 "Edit section: Marketing")\]
In the 1950s and 1960s, graphic designer [Jean Carlu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Carlu "Jean Carlu") produced promotional posters for Air France.[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-110)
The new official song played before and after Air France flights (during boarding and after landing) is 'The World Can Be Yours' by [Telepopmusik](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepopmusik "Telepopmusik"). Air France has used different popular music groups for its marketing and on-board ambience, ranging from [The Chemical Brothers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_Brothers "The Chemical Brothers") in 1999 to [Telepopmusik](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepopmusik "Telepopmusik") in 2010.[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-111)
Air France launched a new ad campaign in 2015 designed by [BETC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BETC "BETC") and directed by We Are From LA, focusing on French culture. Along with the ad campaign and print ads, Air France also introduced a similarly themed safety video. The music is a customised version of [Glass Candy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_Candy "Glass Candy")'s song *Warm in the Winter*.[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-112)
### Uniforms
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=20 "Edit section: Uniforms")\]
Air France uniforms denote the ranks for the flight attendants. Two silver sleeve stripes denote a senior Purser. One silver sleeve stripe denote a Purser. Flight attendants do not have any sleeve stripes. The female cabin crew uniforms feature the stripes on the breast pocket rather than the sleeve for their male counterparts. Air France's current uniforms were created by French fashion designer [Christian Lacroix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Lacroix "Christian Lacroix").[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-113)
### Branding
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=21 "Edit section: Branding")\]
Upon its formation, Air France adopted the [seahorse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seahorse "Seahorse") logo of its predecessor Air Orient, known as the *hippocampe ailé* (sometimes derisively called "la crevette" – or shrimp – by its employees), as its insignia.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-114)[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-115) Prior to the Air France-KLM merger, the *hippocampe ailé* was used on the nose section of aircraft next to the Groupe Air France title; after the merger, the Air France-KLM logo was substituted at the nose area, and the *hippocampe ailé* was relocated to engine nacelles. The acronym "AF" has also featured prominently on the airline's flag and its signage. On 7 January 2009, Air France officially changed its logo to a red stripe.
## Destinations

### Wide-body fleet
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=27 "Edit section: Wide-body fleet")\]
On 16 September 2011, [Air France-KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France-KLM "Air France-KLM") announced orders for 50 Airbus A350s and Boeing 787s with 60 options, to be operated by both Air France and KLM.[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-171) Air France-KLM committed 37 Boeing 787s, 25 directly and 12 leased, of which 16 are earmarked for Air France to replace some A340-300s, subsequent A340s would be replaced by Airbus A350s from 2019. The first Boeing 787-9 entered into service with KLM in 2015 and with Air France in early 2017.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-172) Air France-KLM had 28 A350s on firm order.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-173) In June 2019, the group announced a revision of the original order with Air France becoming the sole operator of the Airbus A350, with KLM only operating Boeing 787s, including six originally earmarked for Air France. The first Airbus A350-900 *(named Toulouse*) was delivered to Air France on 27 September 2019.[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-174)
### Narrow-body fleet
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=28 "Edit section: Narrow-body fleet")\]

The airline's deadliest accident occurred on 1 June 2009, when [Air France Flight 447](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447 "Air France Flight 447"), an [Airbus A330-203](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A330-203 "Airbus A330-203"), crashed into the [Atlantic Ocean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean "Atlantic Ocean") killing all 228 on board.[\[215\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-215) Another notable crash in Air France's records occurred on 25 July 2000, when [Air France Flight 4590](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_4590 "Air France Flight 4590"), a [Concorde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde "Concorde"), caught fire immediately after take-off due to metal debris on the runway damaging a tire, which produced debris that struck a fuel tank on the underside of the wing, catching fire.[\[216\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-216) The fire started to disintegrate the aircraft's left wing and the plane started to tilt to its side. This caused the aircraft to crash into a hotel on the outskirts of [Gonesse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonesse "Gonesse"), France. All 109 passengers and crew inside Flight 4590, as well as four people inside the hotel, were killed.

The airline is a subsidiary of the [Air France-KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France-KLM "Air France-KLM") Group and is one of the founding members of the [SkyTeam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTeam "SkyTeam") airline alliance.

Tracing its origins back to the 1910s, Air France was formed on 30 August 1933 through the merger of five existing airlines in France. During the [Cold War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War "Cold War"), from 1950 until 1990, it was one of the three main [Allied](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Control_Council "Allied Control Council") scheduled airlines operating in Germany at [West Berlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Berlin "West Berlin")'s [Tempelhof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Tempelhof_Airport#Postwar_commercial_use "Berlin Tempelhof Airport") and [Tegel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Tegel_Airport#Air_France "Berlin Tegel Airport") airports. In 1990, it acquired the operations of French domestic carrier [Air Inter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Inter "Air Inter") and international rival UTA – [Union de Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_de_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Union de Transports Aériens"). It merged with [KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM "KLM") to form Air France-KLM in 2003.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-10)
In 2018, Air France and its [regional](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_airline "Regional airline") subsidiary [Hop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Hop "Air France Hop") carried 51.4 million passengers.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-11) Air France operates a mixed fleet of [Airbus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus "Airbus") and [Boeing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing "Boeing") [wide-body](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-body_aircraft "Wide-body aircraft") [jets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft") on long-haul routes, and uses [Airbus A320 family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320_family "Airbus A320 family") [narrow-body aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-body_aircraft "Narrow-body aircraft") on short-haul routes. Air France introduced the [Airbus A380](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380 "Airbus A380") on 20 November 2009 with service from Paris to [New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport "John F. Kennedy International Airport"). Air France Hop (formerly HOP!) operates the majority of its regional domestic and European scheduled services with a fleet of [regional jet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_jet "Regional jet") aircraft.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-12)

The predecessor companies of Air France date back to [Compagnie générale transaérienne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compagnie_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_transa%C3%A9rienne "Compagnie générale transaérienne") (CGT), established in 1909,[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-14) which flew the world's first scheduled passenger-carrying [fixed-wing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-wing_aircraft "Fixed-wing aircraft") flights within France in 1913.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-15)\[*[page needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources "Wikipedia:Citing sources")*\] Air France was formed on 30 August 1933 as a merger of five existing airlines:[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-16) [Compagnie Générale Aéropostale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compagnie_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_A%C3%A9ropostale "Compagnie Générale Aéropostale"), which was founded in 1918 as Société des lignes Latécoère and, in some sources, the earliest lineage of Air France is stated to be 1918;[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-name="AAP1948"-17)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-18) [Société Générale des Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_des_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Société Générale des Transports Aériens") (SGTA), which was founded in 1919; [Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compagnie_Internationale_de_Navigation_A%C3%A9rienne "Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne") (CIDNA), which was founded in 1920; [Air Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Union "Air Union"), which was founded in 1923 and formed from the merger of Compagnie des Messageries Aériennes (CMA), which absorbed CGT, and [Grands Express Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grands_Express_A%C3%A9riens "Grands Express Aériens"); and [Air Orient](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Orient "Air Orient"), which was founded in 1929.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-19)[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-21)[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-22) SGTA was the first commercial passenger airline company in France; founded as Lignes Aériennes Farman in 1919, it began a weekly service between Paris and Brussels on 22 March 1919, the world's first international commercial aviation service.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-23) Société des lignes Latécoère began [airmail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airmail "Airmail") services in 1924.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-24) These airlines built extensive networks across Europe, to [French colonies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_colonies "French colonies") in North Africa and farther afield prior to their merger into Air France in 1933.
Air France Operated their Boeing 737-300s in 1991 until 2003. In December 31, 2003 Air France Retires Their Boeing 737-300s.
In 1936, Air France added French-built twin engine [Potez 62](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potez_62 "Potez 62") aircraft to its fleet featuring a two-compartment cabin that could accommodate 14 to 16 passengers. A high-wing monoplane, it had a wooden fuselage with composite coating while the wings were fabric-covered with a metal leading edge. Equipped with Hispano-Suiza V-engines, they were used on routes in Europe, South America and the Far East. Although cruising at only 280 km/h (175 mph), the Potez 62 was a robust and reliable workhorse for Air France and remained in service until the [Second World War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World_War "Second World War") with one used by the [Free French Air Force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_French_Air_Force "Free French Air Force").[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-25)

During World War II, Air France moved its operations to [Casablanca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casablanca "Casablanca"), Morocco. On 26 June 1945, all of France's [air transport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_transport "Air transport") companies were [nationalised](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalised "Nationalised").[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-26) On 29 December 1945, a decree of the [French Government](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Government "French Government") granted Air France the management of the entire French air transport network.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-27) Air France appointed its first [flight attendants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_attendant "Flight attendant") in 1946. The same year the airline opened its first air terminal at [Les Invalides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Invalides "Les Invalides") in central Paris. It was linked to [Paris Le Bourget Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Le_Bourget_Airport "Paris Le Bourget Airport"), Air France's first operations and engineering base, by coach. At that time the network covered 160,000 km, claimed to be the longest in the world.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Société Nationale Air France was set up on 1 January 1946.
European schedules were initially operated by a fleet of [Douglas DC-3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-3 "Douglas DC-3") aircraft. On 1 July 1946, Air France started direct flights between Paris and New York via refuelling stops at [Shannon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_Airport "Shannon Airport") and [Gander](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gander_International_Airport "Gander International Airport"). [Douglas DC-4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-4 "Douglas DC-4") [piston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston "Piston")\-engine [airliners](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airliner "Airliner") covered the route in just under 20 hours.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) In September 1947, Air France's network stretched east from New York, Fort de France and Buenos Aires to Shanghai.

By 1948, Air France operated 130 aircraft, one of the largest fleets in the world.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Between 1947 and 1965, the airline operated [Lockheed Constellations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Constellation "Lockheed Constellation") on passenger and cargo services worldwide.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-29) In 1946 and 1948, respectively, the French government authorised the creation of two private airlines: [Transports Aériens Internationaux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transports_A%C3%A9riens_Intercontinentaux "Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux") – later [Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transports_A%C3%A9riens_Intercontinentaux "Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux") – (TAI) and SATI. In 1949, the latter became part of [Union Aéromaritime de Transport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_A%C3%A9romaritime_de_Transport "Union Aéromaritime de Transport") (UAT), a private French international airline.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-30)
**Compagnie Nationale Air France** was created by [act of parliament](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_parliament "Act of parliament") on 16 June 1948. Initially, the government held 70%. In subsequent years, the [French state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Government "French Government")'s direct and indirect shareholdings reached almost 100%. In mid 2002, the state held 54%.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-Dirigisme-31)
On 4 August 1948, [Max Hymans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Hymans "Max Hymans") was appointed the president. During his 13-year [tenure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenure "Tenure") he would implement modernisation practices centred on the introduction of [jet aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft"). In 1949, the company became a co-founder of [Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques (SITA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SITA_\(IT_company\) "SITA (IT company)"), an airline telecommunications services company.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)
### Jet age reorganisation
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: Jet age reorganisation")\]
In 1952, Air France moved its operations and engineering base to the new [Orly Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orly_Airport "Orly Airport") South terminal. By then the network covered 250,000 km.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France entered the jet age in August 1953, flying the original, short-lived [de Havilland Comet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Comet "De Havilland Comet") series 1A Paris-Rome-Beirut.
In the mid 1950s, it also operated the [Vickers Viscount](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Viscount "Vickers Viscount") turboprop, with twelve entering service between May 1953 and August 1954 on the European routes. On 26 September 1953, the government instructed Air France to share long-distance routes with new private airlines. This was followed by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport's imposition of an [accord](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract "Contract") on Air France, [Aigle Azur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aigle_Azur "Aigle Azur"), [TAI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transports_A%C3%A9riens_Intercontinentaux "Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux") and [UAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_A%C3%A9romaritime_de_Transport "Union Aéromaritime de Transport"), under which some routes to Africa, Asia and the Pacific region were transferred to private carriers.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)
On 23 February 1960, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport transferred Air France's domestic monopoly to Air Inter. To compensate for the loss of its domestic network Air France was given a stake in Air Inter. The following day Air France was instructed to share African routes with [Air Afrique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Afrique "Air Afrique") and [UAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_A%C3%A9romaritime_de_Transport "Union Aéromaritime de Transport").[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-Dirigisme-31)
The airline started uninterrupted [jet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft") operations in 1960 with the [Sud Aviation Caravelle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sud_Aviation_Caravelle "Sud Aviation Caravelle") and the [Boeing 707](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_707 "Boeing 707");[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) jet airliners cut travel times in half and improved comfort.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France later became an early [Boeing 747](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747 "Boeing 747") operator and eventually had one of the world's largest [Boeing 747](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747 "Boeing 747") fleets.

On 1 February 1963, the government formalised division of routes between Air France and its [private sector](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_sector "Private sector") rivals. Air France was to withdraw services to West Africa (except [Senegal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senegal "Senegal")), Central Africa (except [Burundi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burundi "Burundi") and [Rwanda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda "Rwanda")), Southern Africa (including [South Africa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa "South Africa")), [Libya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya "Libya") in North Africa, [Bahrain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain "Bahrain") and [Oman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman "Oman") in the Middle East, Sri Lanka (then known as [Ceylon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceylon "Ceylon")) in South Asia, Indonesia, [Malaysia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia "Malaysia") and Singapore in Southeast Asia, Australia, [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand") as well as [New Caledonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Caledonia "New Caledonia") and [Tahiti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahiti "Tahiti"). These routes were allocated to the new [Union de Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_de_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Union de Transports Aériens") (UTA), a new private airline resulting from the merger of TAI and UAT. UTA also got exclusive rights between Japan, [New Caledonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Caledonia "New Caledonia") and [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand"), South Africa and [Réunion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9union "Réunion") island in the Indian Ocean, as well as Los Angeles and Tahiti.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-Dirigisme-31)[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-32)
In 1974, Air France began shifting the bulk of operations to the new Charles de Gaulle Airport north of Paris. By the early 1980s, only [Corsica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsica "Corsica"), Martinique, [Guadeloupe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadeloupe "Guadeloupe"), most services to [French Guiana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana "French Guiana"), Réunion, the [Maghreb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maghreb "Maghreb") region, Eastern Europe (except the [USSR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR "USSR")), Southern Europe (except [Greece](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece "Greece") and Italy), and one daily service to New York (JFK) remained at Orly. In 1974, Air France also became the world's first operator of the [Airbus A300](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A300 "Airbus A300") twin-engine [widebody](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widebody "Widebody") plane, [Airbus Industrie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Industrie "Airbus Industrie")'s first commercial airliner for which it was a launch customer.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-33)
### Concorde service and rivalry
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: Concorde service and rivalry")\]

Air France [Concorde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde "Concorde") at [Charles de Gaulle Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle_Airport "Charles de Gaulle Airport") in 2003
On 21 January 1976, Air France operated its inaugural [supersonic transport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_transport "Supersonic transport") (SST) service on the Paris (Charles de Gaulle) to [Rio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro "Rio de Janeiro") (via [Dakar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakar "Dakar")) route with [Anglo-French](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_relations "France–United Kingdom relations") [BAC-Aérospatiale Concorde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde "Concorde") F-BVFA. Supersonic services from Paris (CDG) to [Washington Dulles International Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Dulles_International_Airport "Washington Dulles International Airport") began on 24 May 1976, also with F-BVFA. Service to [New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport "John F. Kennedy International Airport") (JFK) – the only remaining Concorde service until its end – commenced on 22 November 1977. Paris to New York was flown in 3 hours 23 minutes, at about twice the [speed of sound](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound "Speed of sound"). Approval for flights to the United States was initially withheld due to noise protests. Eventually, services to [Mexico City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City "Mexico City") via Washington, D.C., were started. Air France became one of only two airlines – [British Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways "British Airways") being the other – to regularly operate supersonic services, and continued daily transatlantic Concorde service until late May 2003.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-34)
By 1983, Air France's [golden jubilee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_jubilee "Golden jubilee"), the workforce numbered more than 34,000, its fleet about 100 [jet aircraft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_aircraft "Jet aircraft") (including 33 [Boeing 747s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747 "Boeing 747")) and its 634,400 km network served 150 destinations in 73 countries. This made Air France the fourth-largest scheduled passenger airline in the world, as well as the second-largest scheduled freight carrier.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France also codeshared with regional French airlines, [TAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAT_\(French_airline\) "TAT (French airline)") being the most prominent. TAT would later operate several regional international routes on behalf of Air France.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-35) In 1983, Air France began passenger flights to [South Korea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea "South Korea"), being the first European airline to do so.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-36)
In 1986, the government relaxed its policy of dividing traffic rights for scheduled services between Air France, Air Inter and UTA, without route overlaps between them. The decision opened some of Air France's most lucrative routes on which it had enjoyed a government-sanctioned monopoly since 1963 and which were within its exclusive sphere of influence, to rival airlines, notably UTA. The changes enabled UTA to launch scheduled services to new destinations within Air France's sphere, in competition with that airline.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-37)[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-38)[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-39)
Paris-San Francisco became the first route UTA served in competition with Air France non-stop from Paris. Air France responded by extending some non-stop Paris-Los Angeles services to [Papeete](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papeete "Papeete"), Tahiti, which competed with UTA on Los Angeles-Papeete. UTA's ability to secure traffic rights outside its traditional sphere in competition with Air France was the result of a campaign to [lobby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying "Lobbying") the government to enable it to grow faster, becoming more dynamic and more [profitable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_\(accounting\) "Profit (accounting)"). This infuriated Air France.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-40)
In 1987, Air France together with [Lufthansa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufthansa "Lufthansa"), [Iberia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberia_\(airline\) "Iberia (airline)") and [SAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS_Group "SAS Group") founded [Amadeus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeus_IT_Group "Amadeus IT Group"), an IT company (also known as a [GDS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_reservations_system "Computer reservations system")) that would enable travel agencies to sell the founders and other airlines' products from a single system.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-41)
In 1988, Air France was a launch customer for the [fly-by-wire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly-by-wire "Fly-by-wire") (FBW) Airbus A320 narrow-body twin, along with Air Inter and [British Caledonian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Caledonian "British Caledonian"). It became the first airline to take delivery of the [A320](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A320 "A320") in March 1988, and along with Air Inter, became the first airlines to introduce A320 service on short-haul routes.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-42)
### Acquisitions and privatisation
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=5 "Edit section: Acquisitions and privatisation")\]
On 12 January 1990, the operations of government-owned Air France, semi-public Air Inter and wholly private [Union de Transports Aériens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_de_Transports_A%C3%A9riens "Union de Transports Aériens") (UTA) were merged into an enlarged Air France.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28) Air France's acquisition of UTA and Air Inter was part of an early 1990s government plan to create a unified, [national air carrier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_carrier "National carrier") with the [economies of scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale "Economies of scale") and global reach to counter potential threats from the [liberalisation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalization "Liberalization") of the [European Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union "European Union")'s internal air transport market.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-43)
On 25 July 1994, a new holding company, Groupe Air France, was set up by decree. Groupe Air France became operational on 1 September 1994. It acquired the Air France group's majority shareholdings in Air France and Air Inter (subsequently renamed Air Inter Europe). On 31 August 1994, [Stephen Wolf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wolf "Stephen Wolf"), a former [United Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines "United Airlines") CEO, was appointed adviser to the Air France group's chairman [Christian Blanc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Blanc "Christian Blanc"). Wolf was credited with the introduction of Air France's [hub and spoke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_and_spoke "Hub and spoke") operation at Paris Charles de Gaulle. Wolf resigned in 1996 to take over as CEO at [US Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways "US Airways").[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-44)[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-45)
In 1997, Air Inter Europe was absorbed into Air France. On 19 February 1999, French Prime Minister [Lionel Jospin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Jospin "Lionel Jospin")'s [Plural Left](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_Left "Plural Left") government approved Air France's partial [privatisation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatisation "Privatisation"). Its [shares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ownership_equity "Ownership equity") were listed on the Paris [stock exchange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_exchange "Stock exchange") on 22 February 1999. In June 1999, Air France and [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines") formed a bilateral [transatlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_flight "Transatlantic flight") [partnership](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles_of_Partnership "Articles of Partnership"). On 22 June 2000, this expanded into the [SkyTeam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTeam "SkyTeam") global [airline alliance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_alliance "Airline alliance").[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46)[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-AF_History-28)
### Air France–KLM merger
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Air_France&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Air France–KLM merger")\]
On 30 September 2003, Air France and [Netherlands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands "Netherlands")\-based [KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM "KLM") Royal Dutch Airlines announced the merger of the two airlines, with the new company to be known as Air France–KLM. The merger took place on 5 May 2004. At that point former Air France shareholders owned 81% of the new firm (44% owned by the French state, 37% by private shareholders), former KLM shareholders the rest. The decision of the [Jean-Pierre Raffarin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Pierre_Raffarin "Jean-Pierre Raffarin") government to reduce the French state's shareholding in the former Air France group from 54.4% to 44% of the newly created Air France–KLM Group effectively privatised the new airline. In December 2004, the state sold 18.4% of its equity in Air France–KLM. The state's shareholding in Air France–KLM subsequently fell to just under 20%.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46)
Air France–KLM became the largest airline in the world in terms of operating [revenues](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue "Revenue"), and third-largest (largest in Europe) in passenger kilometres.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46) Although owned by a single company, Air France and KLM continued to fly under their own [brand names](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_name "Brand name"). Air France–KLM remained part of SkyTeam alliance, which then included [Aeroflot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot "Aeroflot"), [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines"), [Aeroméxico](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerom%C3%A9xico "Aeroméxico"), [Korean Air](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air "Korean Air"), [Czech Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Airlines "Czech Airlines"), [Alitalia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alitalia "Alitalia"), [Northwest Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Airlines "Northwest Airlines"), [China Southern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Southern_Airlines "China Southern Airlines"), [China Eastern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines "China Eastern Airlines"), [China Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Airlines "China Airlines"), [Air Europa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Europa "Air Europa"), [Continental Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Airlines "Continental Airlines"), [Garuda Indonesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda_Indonesia "Garuda Indonesia"), [Vietnam Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_Airlines "Vietnam Airlines"), [Saudia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudia "Saudia"), [Aerolineas Argentinas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerolineas_Argentinas "Aerolineas Argentinas"), and [XiamenAir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XiamenAir "XiamenAir"). As of March 2004, the group employed 71,654 people.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-47) As of March 2007, the group employed 102,422 personnel.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FI-46)
On 17 October 2007, the creation of a profit and revenue-sharing transatlantic joint venture between Air France-KLM and Delta Air Lines was announced during a press conference at Air France-KLM's headquarters. The venture became effective on 29 March 2008. It aimed to exploit transatlantic opportunities to capture a major share of long-haul business traffic from [London Heathrow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathrow_Airport "Heathrow Airport"), which opened to unrestricted competition on that day as a result of the "[Open Skies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Skies "Open Skies")" [pact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty "Treaty") between the EU and US. It was envisaged that Air France and [Delta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines") would begin nine daily round trips between London-Heathrow and destinations in the US, including a daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service by Air France. Once the new Air France-Delta venture received [antitrust immunity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law "United States antitrust law"), it was to be extended to the other two transatlantic SkyTeam partners, enabling all four partners to codeshare flights as well as to share revenue and profit.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FT_London_target-48)[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-49) The new transatlantic joint venture marks the Air France-KLM Group's second major expansion in the London market, following the launch of [CityJet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityJet "CityJet")\-operated short-haul services from [London City Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_City_Airport "London City Airport") that have been aimed at business travellers in the [City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London "City of London")'s [financial services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_services "Financial services") industry.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-FT_London_target-48) However, the daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service was not as successful as hoped, and was discontinued in November 2008.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-50)
On 12 January 2012, Air France-KLM announced a three-year transformation plan, called Transform 2015, to restore profitability. The plan was to restore competitiveness through cost-cutting, restructuring the short- and medium-haul operations and rapidly reducing debt. The main objective of this plan was to turn Air France-KLM back into a world player by 2015. Air France had been losing 700 million euros a year. As the financial results of 2011 demonstrated, the long-haul operations, also subject to increasing competition, would not be able to offset these losses. On 22 February 2012, Air France released its plan for the summer schedule. Because of the uncertain economic environment, Air France-KLM set a limit of 1.4% maximum increase in capacity from 25 March 2012 to 28 October 2012.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-51)[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-52)[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-53)
On 21 June 2012, Air France-KLM had announced its decision to cut just under 10% of the total 53,000 workforce (about 5,000 jobs) by the end of 2013 in an attempt to restore profitability. The airline expected to lose 1,700 jobs through natural turnover and the rest by voluntary redundancies.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-54) As of August 2012, the Transform 2015 plan was accepted by ground staff and pilot unions but rejected by cabin crew unions.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-55)
At the beginning of July 2012, it was announced that Air France-KLM found partners for the new African start-up airline Air France, which was co-founded by six countries in Central Africa to replace the former [Air Afrique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Afrique "Air Afrique"). But several problems and two partners, who decided to back out, delayed the implementation of the project. Following its launch, Air France announced it would commence operations in 2013.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-56)
In September 2013, Air France introduced a brand new Economy product along with an improved Premium Economy seat and service. It is expected that the new improvements would be fitted on aircraft from June 2014 onwards.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-businesstraveller.com-57) In October 2013, Air France-KLM announced it was writing off the 25% stake in Alitalia, as it was hesitant the struggling carrier would obtain the 300 million euros in financing. The group has denied Alitalia of additional funds as it is currently struggling to restructure itself to profitability with the Transform 2015 plan.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-58)
In December 2013, Air France announced that Cityjet no longer meets the short haul needs of the group and is in the process of closing a deal with German firm Intro Aviation by the end of Q1 of 2014.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-59)
In 2014, the airline was targeted by a negative publicity campaign, spearheaded by [PETA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETA "PETA"), for being the only major airline that permits the transport of primates for research.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-60)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-61)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-62)[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-63) In 2022, the airline announced it would stop transporting nonhuman primates.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-64)
On 4 February 2014, the new business product was unveiled, featuring a fully flat bed from Zodiac Aerospace. The seat was fitted on Boeing 777 aircraft from June 2014 onwards.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-65) In September 2014, Air France announced it would sell a 3 per cent stake in travel technology company [Amadeus IT Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeus_IT_Group "Amadeus IT Group") for \$438 million.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-66)
Late in 2015, Air France faced a financial crisis, which was exacerbated by a pilot's strike against the airline. The airline answered the strike by announcing it would cut some 2,900 jobs.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-67) In December 2015, Air France announced the retirement of its last [Boeing 747-400](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747-400 "Boeing 747-400") with a special scenic flight on 14 January 2016. The airline operated the 747 in several variants since 1970.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-68)
In January 2017, Air France received its first Boeing 787–9. In November, CityJet no longer operated on Air France flights and the affected destinations were served by Air France and HOP! from then on.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-69)
In July 2017, Air France-KLM entered into a multi-airline strategic partnership with [Delta Air Lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines "Delta Air Lines"), [China Eastern Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Eastern_Airlines "China Eastern Airlines") and [Virgin Atlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Atlantic "Virgin Atlantic"), solidifying the existing ties between the carriers. Under the agreement Delta and China Eastern would each buy 10% of Air France-KLM, while Air France-KLM would buy 31% of Virgin Atlantic.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-70) In December 2019, the purchase of Virgin Atlantic was cancelled.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-71)
Air France announced it would terminate services to Iran from September 2018, explaining the concern that the route to Iran is no longer commercially viable due to the redefined [US sanctions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_sanctions_against_Iran "United States sanctions against Iran").[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-72)
In December 2018, [Anne Rigail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Rigail "Anne Rigail") was appointed as Executive Director of the company.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-73)

The 130,000-square-metre (1,400,000 sq ft) complex was completed in December 1995. The French firm Groupement d'Etudes et de Méthodes d'Ordonnancement (GEMO) managed the project. The architect was [Valode & Pistre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valode_%26_Pistre "Valode & Pistre") and the design consultants were Sechaud-Boyssut and Trouvin. The project cost 137,000,000 euros[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-76) (less than 700 million [francs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_franc "French franc")[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-77)). The runways of the airport are visible from the building.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-78) The Air France Operations Control Centre (*OCC*, French: Centre de Contrôle des Opérations, *CCO*), which coordinates Air France flights worldwide, is situated at the AF head office.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-79)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-80)
For about 30 years prior to December 1995, Air France's headquarters were located in a tower adjacent to the [Gare Montparnasse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gare_Montparnasse "Gare Montparnasse") rail station in the [Montparnasse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montparnasse "Montparnasse") area and the [15th arrondissement of Paris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15th_arrondissement_of_Paris "15th arrondissement of Paris").[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-81) By 1991, two bids for the purchase of the Square Max Hymans building had been made.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-82) By 1992, the complex was sold to [Mutuelle générale de l'Éducation nationale](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mutuelle_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_de_l%27%C3%89ducation_nationale&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mutuelle générale de l'Éducation nationale (page does not exist)") \[[fr](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutuelle_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_de_l%27%C3%89ducation_nationale "fr:Mutuelle générale de l'Éducation nationale")\] (MGEN) for 1.6 billion [francs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_franc "French franc").[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-83) By that year, Air France had planned to move its head office to Roissypôle,[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-84) taking 50,000 square metres (540,000 sq ft) of space inside the hotel, office, and shopping complex on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport.[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-85) After Air France moved to Tremblay-en-France, the ownership of the former head office complex was transferred.[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-86)
On a previous occasion, the head office was at *2 rue marbeuf* in the [8th arrondissement of Paris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th_arrondissement_of_Paris "8th arrondissement of Paris").[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-87)
Air France's United States offices are in the [125 West 55th Street](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/125_West_55th_Street "125 West 55th Street") building in [Midtown Manhattan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midtown_Manhattan "Midtown Manhattan"), New York City.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-88) Air France first signed a lease to occupy the building in 1991.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-89) The site also formerly housed the New York City ticket office for Air France.
Air France-KLM's head office for the United Kingdom and Ireland operations, which includes facilities for Air France and [KLM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM "KLM"), is located in Plesman House in [Hatton Cross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatton,_London "Hatton, London"). The facility's inauguration was on 6 July 2006. Air France moved the office from [Hounslow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hounslow "Hounslow") to Hatton.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-90)
In London, the airline also operated a storefront ticket-office for prospective passengers in 158 [New Bond Street](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Bond_Street "New Bond Street") from the late 1950s to the early 1990s but moved to 177 [Piccadilly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccadilly "Piccadilly"), French Railways House, which was also the venue of *Maison de La France,* the French Government Tourist Office, until closure in the mid 2000s.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-91)
Air France Cité PN, located at Charles de Gaulle Airport, acts as the airline's crew base. The building, developed by [Valode & Pistre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valode_%26_Pistre "Valode & Pistre"), opened in February 2006. The first phase consisted of 33,400 square metres (360,000 sq ft) of space and 4,300 parking spaces. The building is connected to the Air France head office.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-92)
Until 2022, Air France operated the Air France Vaccinations Center in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-94) The centre distributed vaccines for international travel.

Owing to the [disputed status](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Taiwan "Foreign relations of Taiwan") of [Taiwan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan "Taiwan"), Air France could not operate flights to the island under its own name. In 1993, its subsidiary, [Air Charter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Charter_International "Air Charter International"), began operating flights between Paris and [Taipei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taipei "Taipei") via Hong Kong,[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-106) but after Air Charter ceased operations in 1998, a subsidiary called **Air France Asie** was established.[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-107) The airline was one of a number of airline subsidiaries flying under the "Asia" name with the purpose of flying to Taiwan, which included [Japan Asia Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Asia_Airways "Japan Asia Airways") (a [Japan Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines "Japan Airlines") subsidiary), [KLM Asia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KLM_Asia "KLM Asia"), [British Asia Airways](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Asia_Airways "British Asia Airways"), [Swissair Asia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Asia "Swissair Asia"), and [Australia Asia Airlines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Asia_Airlines "Australia Asia Airlines") (a [Qantas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas "Qantas") subsidiary).
The livery of Air France Asie differed from that of Air France by having blue and white stripes on the tailfin, rather than blue, white and red ones, representing the [French Tricolour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Tricolour "French Tricolour"). Air France Asie used two Airbus A340-200 aircraft, F-GLZD and F-GLZE, and two Boeing 747-428Ms, F-GISA and F-GISC. Similarly, **Air France Cargo Asie** used a 747–200 Combi (for passengers and freight), F-GCBH) or the all-cargo (F-GCBL, F-GPAN and F-GBOX). Air France Asie ceased operations in 2004 while Air France Cargo Asie ceased operations in 2007.
In 2010, Air France migrated from an internally managed [passenger service system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_service_system "Passenger service system") (Alpha3) that manages reservation, inventory and pricing to an external system (Altéa) managed by [Amadeus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeus_IT_Group "Amadeus IT Group"). In rail ventures, Air France and [Veolia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veolia "Veolia") are looking into jointly operating [high-speed rail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail "High-speed rail") services in Europe. Routes have become available to operators in accordance with European rail liberalisation on 1 January 2010.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-108)
Air France's present livery is a "Eurowhite" scheme, comprising a white fuselage with the blue Air France title and design. The tail is white with a series of parallel red and blue lines across the tail at an angle, and a small European flag at the top. The engines have the old Air France (and formerly Air Orient) logo painted on, though only on newer\[*[when?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items "Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers")*\] aircraft. This livery has been in use since the late 1970s. Prior to the "Eurowhite" livery, Air France aircraft had a bare-metal underside, extending up to a blue cheat-line that ran across the cabin windows. Above the cheat-line the fuselage was again white, with Air France titles and a French flag. The tail was white with two thick blue lines, which tapered from the rear of the tail and met at a point towards the front bottom. This basic livery, with minor variations, would appear on all post-war Air France aircraft until the late 1970s.
In January 2009, to coincide with Air France's new logo, a new livery was unveiled.[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France#cite_note-109) Air France rolled out its new livery on 11 February 2009. The 2009 livery saw the tail slightly changed; there are now three blue bars running down instead of the previous four. The bars also now curve at the bottom, reflecting the design of the logo. In 2017, Air France received their first [Boeing 787](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_787 "Boeing 787") with a revised livery which included larger Air France titles. In 2019, Air France revised the livery with the arrival of the [Airbus A350](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A350 "Airbus A350"), with blue winglets featuring the *hippocampe ailé*. This coincided with reintroducing the practice of naming each of their aircraft, with the name written under the front cabin windows; the first A350-900 was named after the city of [Toulouse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse "Toulouse"). In 2021, Air France once again revised the livery, while most elements were still identical to the 2019 version, the *hippocampe ailé* icon is now added between cockpit windows and front cabin doors, replacing the SkyTeam logo. The aircraft type, SkyTeam logo and Air France-KLM logo now feature at the back of the fuselage.

This caused the aircraft to crash into a hotel on the outskirts of [Gonesse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonesse "Gonesse"), France. All 109 passengers and crew inside Flight 4590, as well as four people inside the hotel, were killed.
