Perhaps they have a hard time actually filling Aigle Azure slots .
Probably a combination.
They need to fill slots. And the domestic market is dwindling.
AF faces huge competition on MAD. IB has 6 flights from ORY.. UX has four. TO has three. They need to regain some market share.
Wonder if they will use the awful domestic non-reclining seats of the domestic fleet.
