History:
On 7.10.1933, the two largest airlines in France merged to form the airline "Air France". On 22.06.1999 Air France and the American Delta Airlines together with Korean Air and Aeromexico, founded the alliance "SkyTeam", which later included more airlines. In a share exchange Air France took over the Dutch airline KLM in May 2004. For legal reasons both airlines are operated as separate companies, so that KLM and Air France cooperate in particular in the context of SkyTeams. Air France itself came about as a merger and in turn has taken over several other companies.

Network:
Every day, 136 connections between Germany and France are operated. More than 240 destinations worldwide are served from the home airport Paris Charles de Gaulle. Many French domestic flights, on the other hand continue to be operated under the name of "La Navette" to Paris-Orly airport. However, Orly is less suitable for connecting flights and represents a major terminus rather than a hub. Flights to the French overseas departments, such as Réunion, Guadeloupe and Martinique also depart from Paris-Orly.
Even after the merger of air France and KLM, Amsterdam’s airport Schiphol continues to be a hub of the former KLM.
