Air France's strategy regarding the guarantee of lower costs on all its operations. I would like to congratulate the Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport for making this move, which has been eagerly awaited for many years. We hope that this initiative will be extended to other hubs in France".
Patrick Alexandre, Executive Vice President Commercial, Sales and Alliances Air France-KLM also added: "I too welcome Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport's initiative.
