Chennai, June 19

Air France will operate three weekly flights to Chennai using its own aircraft, from October 30. The service is currently operated on a code share basis with Delta Airlines aircraft and crew. According to a press release, the flight will be operated using an Airbus A340. Delta Air Lines will also sell these flights. In addition to launching flights to Chennai, Air France will be increasing capacity on other flights between Europe and India, with seven weekly flights from Paris to Bangalore instead of five. The Paris-Mumbai route will be operated using Boeing 777-300s with 310 seats instead of the Boeing 777-200s with 270 seats operated last winter. In all, Air France's capacity to India will be increased by 27 per cent. Together, Air France and KLM will offer 42 weekly frequencies (instead of 36 last year) to Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai.
