Air France is France’s national flag carrier and a founding member of the European Union. The corporate headquarters of Air France are in the Tremblay-en-France district, north of Paris. Air France, one of France’s most recognizable brands, has joined forces with KLM, the Royal Dutch Airlines. This collaboration continues as an airline alliance under SkyTeam. Air France, one of the world’s largest airline companies, operates scheduled flights to 93 countries. Furthermore, with 204 destinations, Air France is one of Europe’s leading airline companies in this regard. These figures do not include scheduled SkyTeam flights. Air France, founded on October 7, 1933, is a very important company with an annual passenger capacity of approximately 50 million. Air France’s aircraft are based at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports.

Air France, one of the world’s 20 largest active airlines, operates almost entirely from Charles de Gaulle Airport. Air France operates scheduled flights from here primarily to Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Africa. Air France operates 233 aircraft under the slogan “France is in the air.” Air France, headquartered at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, is the largest airline, along with KLM, a SkyTeam airline alliance partner. Air France, which has an annual revenue of approximately $9 billion, employs approximately 70,000 people. Air France, which has surpassed many world-famous airline companies in terms of employment, has a large number of commercial passenger jets, particularly Airbus and Boeing.

Air France has ordered 21 A350s from Airbus, adding to its fleet of 18 A318s, 40 A319s, 45 A320s, 23 A32s, 15 A330s, 9 A340s, and 10 A380s. Air France, which already has 68 Boeing 777s and two 787s, has ordered 14 more 787s. Air France, which has a large fleet of aircraft, competes directly with Lufthansa, one of Germany’s and the world’s largest airlines. However, Lufthansa outperforms Air France. Air France refreshed its fleet by selling off the entire Boeing 747 series in 2015. Throughout its history, Air France has maintained a relatively clean flight record. However, the company’s name was involved in an accident in 2009. Air France’s Airbus production A330-200 passenger plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, with no survivors. The technical investigation revealed that the accident was caused by pilot error.
