Long-haul network
The Air France / KLM / Delta Joint Venture on the North American network will mean that aircraft capacity and Closely corresponds more to demand:
services to Detroit will be totally operated by Air France with one daily flight instead of 5 weekly flights, as the flight operated by Northwest previously was suspended in January 2009;
from now on Delta will operate the ParisCDG-Philadelphia flight using the B757-200, which is better adapted to the demand;
Delta will also continue to run the Pittsburgh-Paris service launched in summer 2009.
But the major event is the arrival of the A380 on the Paris - New York JFK route as from 23 November.
In Latin America, frequencies have been revised downwards to destinations served by more than one daily flight: there will now be 13 weekly flights to Rio de Janeiro instead of 14, 12 to Sao Paulo instead of 14 and 10 to Mexico City instead of 12.
In Asia, the service to Tokyo will be reduced from 20 to 17 weekly flights, but the drop in capacity is limited by the change in aircraft to the B777-300 for both the two daily flights. The Paris-Nagoya service, Which formed part of the code-share agreement with JAL, has been suspended by our Japanese partner.
In India, apart from the continuation of the capacity adjustments made last summer (suspension of the service to and from Chennai and reduction of capacity to and from Mumbai), there will now be 6 weekly flights to Bangalore instead of 7.
After the capacity increases we made this summer African roads (Luanda, Port Harcourt, Brazzaville, Cotonou and Lagos), the quality of the flight schedule to Cameroon has been further improved thanks to the partial disconnection on the Paris-Douala-Yaounde highway. As from this winter, Douala will be served with six non-stop flights weekly and twice-weekly Yaounde. This is in addition to the weekly Paris-Douala-Yaounde flight.
The Johannesburg service will change in two stages. During the first part of the season, frequencies will be reduced from 14 to 11 weekly flights. Then, starting early March, there will be only one daily flight to Johannesburg by A380.
Similarly, in the Middle East, the Dubai service will be reduced from 14 to 12 weekly flights. It will then become a daily service with the arrival of the Airbus A380, scheduled for 18 January. Services to Cairo will be reduced from 11 weekly flights to 10.
Capacity will increase it to two Caribbean routes destinations this winter: flights to Havana (Cuba) will be upped from 7 to 9 per week, and flights to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) from 5 to 6 per week. These flights will be operated with the Boeing 777 300ER.
The flight schedule remains unchanged on Indian Ocean roads.
The medium-haul international network
The many changes made to the schedule this summer are being maintained for the winter season.
Over and above these changes, out of 7 Which destinations have very frequent service (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Geneva, Madrid, Munich, Moscow and Rome), some flights outside the main connecting banks will no longer operate.
The number of frequencies is also decreasing to Verona (from 4 to 3 daily flights operated by Régional), Dublin (from 7 to 6 operated by Cityjet), Birmingham (from 6 to 5 operated by Cityjet) and Edinburgh (from 4 to 3 operated by Cityjet).
The Shannon-Paris service is also being discontinued.
One departure from the French provinces, the Brussels-Bordeaux and Lyon-Frankfurt services will no longer operate.
On departure from London City, several roads heavily affected by the crisis will be discontinued, ie Strasbourg, Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Nice and Geneva, whereas there will be a new route to Nantes, with 2 daily flights.
The domestic network
As during the summer season, there will be major adjustments to capacity on departure from Paris-Orly compared with last winter.
Several routes will be discontinued on departure from Clermont-Ferrand, ie Biarritz, Lille, Marseille, Strasbourg and Toulouse. However, a third frequency is being added to the Clermont-Lyon route to make easier connections to and from Clermont-Ferrand via the Lyon hub.
Other changes include 4 daily frequencies instead of 3 on the Bordeaux-Nantes route as well as the Lyon-Nice route and 6 flights daily instead of 5 on the Lyon-Bordeaux route.
On departure from Paris-Charles de Gaulle, only the frequency change is to Toulouse, with 7 instead of 6 daily flights.
