France – Asia may see sector through a rough patch

Posted by | Sep 29, 2003 | |

As if the effects of Sars and the global economic downturn were not enough, the French air freight industry started the year with another blow: an air traffic controllers’ strike. The setbacks induced a 6.3% drop in capacity at Air France and a subsequent 5.7% decrease in cargo volumes in the first quarter of this year. The malaise probably had something to do with the decision from TAT, the French post office’s B2B express parcels arm, to axe 60% of its express operations from Paris.

Poor results – cargo revenue down 8.8% for the first quarter and a reduction of 9.2% in total airline revenue – could also be the driving force behind Air France’s talks with KLM.

Although Air France will not elaborate, it has admitted the two airlines are discussing taking a minority stake in each other.
