Iberia has just adquired Air Europa for 1 billion EUR.
I guess that is why AF is adding ORY-MAD flights. I wonder what will happen to UX CDG flights to Valencia and Malaga...

And they also announced VLC, but only once weekly. Clearly, this is all linked to this announcement. I expect that they may start some more services from CDG to those Spanish destinations. But it s also possible that UX will retain some form of collaboration with AF (a simple code-share agreement on a few routes), even if out of Skyteam.
