Air France-KLM to increase summer capacity
Air France-KLM plans to increase capacity on its services by 1.5% this summer, driven by a 15% increase on flights operated by its Transavia budget carrier. The Franco-Dutch airline group said it would offer 0.1% more long-haul capacity on its network as it resumes services between Paris and Tehran, increases flights to the United States and China, and launches a new route between the French capital and Astana. KLM is suspending its summer service to Dallas because of lower demand in the gas and oil market, Air France-KLM said. The medium-haul network will offer 0.7% more capacity, with 13 new routes across Europe, while Transavia will add 36 new destinations. Air France-KLM is cutting staff costs and restructuring its network to better compete with deep-pocketed Gulf airlines and fast-growing European low-cost carriers.<br/>
