Paris, EU near deal on Air France bailout conditions: report
The French government and the EU's executive are close to an agreement on the terms of a bailout for Air France, which like other carriers has been hammered by the coronavirus pandemic, Le Monde reported. The expected deal would see Air France give up fewer airport flight slots at its Paris base than initially sought by the European Commission, notably at Orly airport, the newspaper said in a report published late on Friday. A spokeswoman for the Commission said it was in contact with the French authorities. "We cannot prejudge the timing or outcome of these contacts," she added. Air France and France's economy ministry declined to comment. <br/>
