  • Social Rights and Ethics Charter Editorial by Alexandre De Juniac
    Social Rights and Ethics Charter Editorial By Alexandre De Juniac The epitome of the values and rights underpinning the AIR FRANCE KLM Group’s identity and cohesion, the Social Rights and Ethics Charter applies to all employees of the two companies and their subsidiaries. An ambitious action plan spanning the Group as a whole, this Charter tackles various issues such as labour relations, ethics requirements and the respect for the environment and sustainable development principles. It highlights our vision of an open, united world, based on both economic responsibility and social and environmental progress. Negotiated with and signed by the staff representatives within the AIR FRANCE KLM European Works Council, this Charter is a prime example of how successful our contractual policy proves to be when it comes to achieving fair, balanced development. Every employee is now encouraged to become acquainted with this Charter and proactively endorse it. 1 Preamble The AIR FRANCE KLM Group and the AIR FRANCE KLM European Works Council (AFKL EWC) have jointly set out in this document the values and fundamental rights which underpin the identity of these two companies, and guide their social and ethics policy. These values and rights are the foundation for social, economic and cultural cohesion within each company and within the Group, which is essential to be able to share in the benefi ts of growth. The purpose of this Charter is to foster a climate of enhanced mutual trust and respect in a work environment in which no form of discrimination or harassment may be tolerated. The development of a work environment favorable to the good economic and commercial performance of the Group and each of its companies, to progress in labour relations and personnel advancement requires continuous and extensive cooperation on the part of all.

  • To Readers of the Attached Code-Share List
    TO READERS OF THE ATTACHED CODE-SHARE LIST: The U.S. Air Carrier Licensing Division’s code-share list is an informal compilation of code-share relationships between U.S. and foreign air carriers for the sole purpose of transporting passengers, mail and property. As such, it does not represent a complete compilation of all code shares e.g. cargo and mail only. New code-share relationships are continually being negotiated, and the ones reflected in the attached listing may or may not be still in place or be of a continuing nature. Similarly, the list may not reflect all existing code shares of a particular type, or all existing types of code shares. This list is not an official document of the Department of Transportation and, accordingly, should not be relied upon or cited as such. NOTE: THIS LIST IS COMPRISED OF ONLY THOSE CARRIERS WHOSE CODE-SHARE RELATIONSHIPS ARE OF A NEW OR CONTINUING BASIS. DORMANT CODE-SHARE RELATIONSHIPS TO THE EXTENT KNOWN HAVE BEEN DELETED. Block descriptions of certain code-share arrangements approved for the same term may have been compressed into one block description to conserve space. If the authorities are not new or changed, but only compressed, the compressed descriptions will not appear in bold type. Carriers must notify the Department no later than 30-day before they begin any new code-share service under the code-share services authorized. This report is current through March 31, 2019. Changes from the previous reports are noted in bold type. Regional carriers operating for for large carriers (e.g.

Il regroupe un ensemble de statistiques essentielles pour la connaissance du transport aérien en France. L'édition de ce bulletin repose sur la fourniture par chacun des aéroports français de ses propres données. Ces données sont harmonisées, puis analysées suivant l’origine- destination du vol par numéro de vol. Des corrections nécessaires sont ensuite apportées en concertation avec les services aéroportuaires et/ou les Directions de l’Aviation Civile qui communiquent les résultats de trafic. La date de parution de ce bulletin dépend donc des délais de transmission des données par l’ensemble des fournisseurs de statistiques. Ce bulletin comprend cinq chapitres : • le premier est une synthèse des résultats de l’année civile, • le deuxième regroupe le trafic des compagnies françaises (tel qu’il ressort des informations communiquées à la Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile), • le troisième est consacré aux trafics des relations entre la France et les pays étrangers, • les deux derniers regroupent le trafic des relations de la Métropole ou de l’Outre-Mer avec les pays étrangers ainsi que le trafic des aéroports de ces deux espaces.

  • AFI KLM E&M Steps up Presence on ATR Market
    AFI KLM E&M Steps Up Presence On ATR Market European regional carrier HOP! signs new turboprop fleet component support deal with AFI KLM E&M. Paris Le Bourget, Amstelveen, 18 June 2013 - Following talks with several MROs earlier this year, HOP!-AIRLINAIR has signed a long-term component support contract with AFI KLM E&M covering a total 23 aircraft: 17 ATR 42s and 6 ATR 72s. The per flight hour contract includes repairs and access to a spares pool. The contract renews a previous agreement between AFI KLM E&M and Airlinair signed in 2009. In early 2013, Airlinair formed an alliance with Brit Air and Regional, to create HOP!, the new European regional carrier. Optimized ATR offer A special feature has been introduced to adapt the service rates according to the components removal rate. Reflecting AFI KLM E&M’s outstanding adaptability, this solution guarantees substantial savings for clients, in addition to the shorter TAT delivered by the MRO. Franck Terner, AFI President, said: “The trust Hop! has placed in us sends a strong signal to the market confirming the competitiveness and cost-effectiveness of our ATR components services.” Lionel Guérin, Chairman and CEO of HOP!, said: “It is important for us to be able to rely on a major MRO like AFI KLM E&M as over time, we have been able to measure the service quality, close relations and responsiveness.” About HOP! HOP! is a 100% subsidiary of Air France. HOP! controls 100% of the three airlines HOP!-REGIONAL, HOP!-BRIT AIR and HOP!-AIRLINAIR which operate on its behalf.
