I find this likely to be closer to the truth. The fact that the full AF summer schedule doesn't become operational until June 10, is directly linked to the urgent need to reconfigure the remaining OTC aircraft in the fleet. The schedule changes and service increases that will come into effect on June 10 were planned to come online at the onset of the summer timetable.
