In October 2007, Air France and Delta concluded a
joint-venture agreement based on the model established
by KLM and Northwest who have been cooperating for
more than a decade on the North Atlantic. With this type
of agreement, the companies share revenues and costs
and jointly develop the network. The scope of the joint-
venture between Air France and Delta includes the flights
linking the hubs of the two airlines as well as the
connecting flights and those departing from London-
Heathrow. In 2009, these two joint ventures will be
merged in a single four-way joint-venture. The scope will
be extended to all the transatlantic flights between the
United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and the
Mediterranean basin, representing revenues of around
$12 billion.
Air France also continues to develop its operations in
London. One year ago, CityJet for Air France introduced
services linking London City, an airport located close
to London’s new business districts, with ten new
European cities.
