Best for in-flight entertainment
Since April 2007, it has been possible to learn foreign
languages when traveling on Air France Boeing B777-
300s. Beginner courses are available for twenty-three
languages, including English, French, Dutch, Italian,
Japanese and Mandarin. Pronunciation exercises, tests
and games enable users to put the theory into practice.
Air France will also be the first airline to enable its
passengers to use their cell phones in flight. This will initially
be limited to data before being extended to sound. A first
test phase will be carried out with passengers traveling on
board an Airbus A318 serving Europe and North Africa.
New, higher-performance aircraft
The Air France-KLM fleet management policy aims to
meet the Group’s requirements in terms of the renewal
and expansion of the fleet.
In 2006-07, all the KLM Boeing B767-300ERs were
replaced with Airbus A330-200s. Air France continued to
rationalize its medium-haul fleet in withdrawing from
service the remaining Boeing B737s, its medium-haul
fleet now exclusively comprised of aircraft from the Airbus
A320 family.
Air France subsidiary Régional took delivery, in January
2007, of its first twin jet engine Embraer 190, with a
capacity of more than 100 seats. Régional is thus planning
to reduce the average age of its fleet with quieter, more
energy-efficient aircraft while increasing its seat capacity.
