Air France-KLM confirms its objectives for the current year

Philippe Calavia, Air France-KLM’s Chief Financial Officer confirmed the Group’s objectives for the current financial year. Speaking at the Chevreux Autumn Conference of September 28 ^th 2007, Mr Calavia said: “As shown by our traffic numbers in July and August, activity levels remain dynamic. Moreover, the level of forward bookings for the next three months remains good.” Mr Calavia also added that unit revenues for the second quarter should show a further rise year-on-year, while the improvement in the cargo division is continuing.

Elsewhere, Mr Calavia said the 5% capacity increase planned for the 2007-08 Winter Season would be focused on long-haul routes and specific high demand zones.

On the subject of Iberia and Alitalia, Mr Calavia reiterated that consolidation within the sector is necessary, but that Air France-KLM would consider an acquisition only on condition that it was compatible with the Group’s objective of an 8.5% return on capital after tax by 2009-10.

In his concluding remarks, Philippe Calavia said: “First Quarter results were in line with our expectations. The strong level of activity during the Summer period together with the successful roll-out of the ‘Challenge 10’ cost-savings programme make us confident in our ability to achieve our objective for the full year of increasing our operating income.”
