Outlook
The Air France-KLM group is continuing the strategic measures launched during the past two years in both the cargo and passenger businesses. Indeed the first Provincial Base is due to open in October in Marseille.
The group also continues to reduce costs under the Challenge 12 program which is to deliver savings of 470 million euros this year. Finally capacity increased by 5.7% for the Summer 2011 program via the use of larger or more densified aircraft, new route openings and the addition of frequencies at Paris and Amsterdam, thereby increasing the attraction of the dual hub. If market conditions require (economic growth trend, negative impact of higher oil prices on demand), the group has the flexibility to adapt by lowering capacity. However, forward bookings show a positive trend for the coming months.
The measures undertaken during the economic crisis have strengthened the position of the Air France-KLM group, leaving it well equipped to face the uncertain environment created, in particular by the geopolitical
events since the beginning of 2011. In this context our objective is to generate higher operating income than in 2010.
Subject to the approval at the Annual General Meeting, the Financial Year commenced in April 2011 will be of a duration of nine months, closing on 31st December 2011.
