In case of cancelled flight and postpone to the next day, AFwill keep the same flight number by adding a A, like AF011A
Regarding AF011 those last few days :
- AF011/08APR has been cancelled due to a damage on the aircraft during ground operations ;
- AF011/09APR has been cancelled due to a damage on the aircraft during ground operations also.
Not sure if it's the same aircraft performing the two rotations or not.
Air France uses the following Operational Suffixes :
- A / B / C / D / E for flight rescheduled to the day after, except for flights departing from the US which are renumbered 48xx instead of their original flight number + suffix ;
- V / K / Y / S for ferry flights, test flight and a few other options.
