PARIS (Reuters) – Air France is seeing the first signs of a recovery in business travel on domestic flights but demand in this segment remains well below pre-health crisis levels, said Anne Rigail, chief executive officer of the French airline.
“We are seeing signs particularly on internal links, with conferences taking place in particular in the south of France, but we are still very far from 2019 levels at this stage,” she told reporters at a question about business travel.
Anne Rigail was speaking at a ceremony for the delivery of the first of the 60 Airbus A220-300s, which will join the Air France-KLM group fleet from October 31. This 148-seat aircraft is intended for connections to cities such as Berlin and Madrid.
