NEVER BUY A TICKET FROM THIS SOCIALIST QUASI COMMUNIST SUPPORTED COMPANY. THE ACTIONS OF THIS GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED AIRLINE ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE BOTTOM LINE SO THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG.
'''Air France''' (''Compagnie Nationale Air France'') is an airline based in [[Paris]], [[France]], a subsidiary of [[Air France-KLM]] Group. It operates domestic and international scheduled passenger and cargo services to 185 destinations in 83 countries around the world. Its main bases are [[Orly Airport (Paris)|Orly Airport]] and [[Charles de Gaulle International Airport]], both in Paris, with a hub at [[Saint-Exupéry International Airport]], [[Lyon]]<ref name="FI">[[Flight International]] 27 March 2007</ref>.


BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before its merger with [[KLM]], Air France was the national [[airline]] of [[France]], employing 71,654 people (as of March 2004)<ref>[http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=AIRF.PA AIR FRANCE - KLM Company Profile Yahoo! Finance]</ref>. By March [[2007]] the airline employed 102,422 staff<ref name="FI"/>.


The company's headquarters are located at [[Charles de Gaulle International Airport]] near [[Paris]]; these headquarters are now used by Air France-KLM. Between April 2001 and March 2002, the airline transported 43.3 million passengers and earned 12.53 billion [[Euro]]. Air France's subsidiary, [[Régional]], operates [[regional jet]] and [[turboprop]] flights within Europe.<ref>[http://www.regional.com/data_e/compagnie/index.html Régional, compagnie aérienne européenne Company Profile]</ref> Air France is also accredited by the IATA with the IOSA (IATA Operations Safety Audit) for its safety practices.<ref>[http://www.iata.org/ps/services/iosa/operators/Air+France.htm Air France IOSA Operators Profile]</ref>

Air France took over the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] company [[KLM]] in [[May 2004]], resulting in the creation of [[Air France-KLM]]. Air France-KLM is the largest airline company in the world in terms of operating revenues, and the third-largest in the world (largest in Europe) in terms of passengers-kilometers.


Snooty French online representatives laugh at you.
Air France-KLM is part of the [[SkyTeam]] Alliance with [[Aeroflot]], [[Delta Air Lines]], [[Aeroméxico]], [[Korean Air]], [[Czech Airlines]], [[Alitalia]], [[Northwest Airlines]] and [[Continental Airlines]]. Both Air France and KLM continue to fly under their brand names.
==History==
{{Fact|date=April 2007}}
Founded on [[October 7]], [[1933]], through the merger of [[Air Orient]], [[Compagnie Générale Aéropostale]], Société Générale de Transport Aérien (SGTA, the first French carrier, founded as Lignes Aériennes Farman in 1919), Air Union and CIDNA (Compagnie Internationale de Navigation). The airline had extensive routes across [[Europe]], but also to [[French colonies]] in northern [[Africa]] and elsewhere. During [[World War II]], Air France moved its operations to [[Casablanca]], [[Morocco]]; the airline was featured prominently in the film ''[[Casablanca (film)|Casablanca]]''.
[[Image:Lockheed Constellation, Air France.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Passengers disembarking from an Air France Sud-Est SE-161 Languedoc]]


After the Second World War the company was [[nationalized]] and Societe Nationale Air France was set up on [[1 January]] [[1946]]. Compagnie Nationale Air France was created by a parliamentary act on [[June 16]], [[1948]]. The government held 70% of the new company and in mid-2002 still held a 54% stake in the airline. On [[August 4]], [[1948]], [[Max Hymans]] was appointed president of Air France. During his thirteen years at the helm, he implemented a modernisation policy based on jet aircraft, specifically the [[Sud Aviation Caravelle]] and the [[Boeing 707]]. In [[1949]] the company was one of the founders of [[SITA]] (Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques). The airline used the [[De Havilland Comet]] for a short while from [[1953]], but soon replaced it with [[Vickers Viscount]]s. In [[1959]] the company started widespread use of the twin-jet Sud Aviation Caravelle. It graduated to the use of Boeing aircraft, but as a national European carrier it became committed to Airbus designs from [[1974]].


Ticket change rules buried in small print.
In [[1976]], the airline started operating the [[Concorde|Concorde SST]] [[supersonic]] [[airliner]] on the [[Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport|Paris-Charles de Gaulle]] to [[New York City|New York]] route as well as a number of other routes (those other routes were dropped in 1982). It flew the route Paris to New York City in 3 hours and 20 minutes, at about twice the speed of sound.


On [[12 January]] [[1990]], the operations of all government owned airlines, Air France, Air Inter, Air Charter and [[Union des Transports Aériens|UTA]], were merged into the Air France Group. A new holding company Groupe Air France was set up by decree on [[25 July]] [[1994]] and implemented on [[1 September]] [[1994]]. It had majority shareholdings in Air France and [[Air Inter]] (renamed Air France Europe). In 1997 Air France Europe was fully absorbed into Air France. On [[10 February]] [[1999]] the French government partially privatised the airline on the Paris stock exchange. It became a founder member of the [[Skyteam Alliance]] in June 2000<ref name="FI"/>.


[[Image:Concorde-udvar-hazy.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The [[Concorde]] at the [[Udvar-Hazy Center]].]]


Terrible airport organization.
The five Air France [[Concorde]]s were withdrawn from use on [[31 May]] [[2003]] as a result of insufficient demand following the 2000 accident, along with higher fuel and maintenance costs. British Airways followed suit a few months later, with their last Concordes flying on [[24 October]] [[2003]]. Concorde F-BVFA was transferred to the [[Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center]] in [[Chantilly]], [[Virginia]], near Washington-Dulles airport in Washington, D.C., an annex of the [[National Air & Space Museum]]. F-BVFB was given to a German museum, F-BTSD to the "Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace" in Paris, while F-BVFC was returned to its place of manufacture in Toulouse (France) at the Airbus factory.


On [[September 30]], [[2003]], Air France and [[Netherlands]]-based [[KLM]] (Royal Dutch Airlines), announced the merging of the two airlines, with the new company to be known as [[Air France-KLM]]. The merger became reality on [[May 5]], [[2004]]. Former Air France shareholders own 81% of the new firm (44% owned by the French government, 37% by private shareholders), while former KLM shareholders hold the rest. The French government's share of Air France was reduced from 54.4 per cent (of the former Air France) to 44 per cent (of the current Air France-KLM), thus in effect privatizing Air France. In December 2004 the French state sold 18.4% of its equity stake in the Air France-KLM Group, reducing its stake to just under 20%<ref name="FI"/>.

Transavia is understood to have a 40% stake, with Air France holding the rest <ref>[[Airliner World]] (January 2007)</ref>.

==Incidents and accidents==
{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

[[Image:Air France Flight 358.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Flight 358 at [[Toronto Pearson International Airport]]]]

*On October 27, 1949, boxer [[Marcel Cerdan]], violinist [[Ginette Neveu]] and some members of the [[Barnum & Bailey Circus]] died when an Air France flight crashed into a mountain after two failed attempts to make a landing at the São Miguel Island airport in the Azores.
*On the nights of 12-14 June 1950, two Air France Douglas DC-4s crashed into the waters off Bahrain while attempting to land, with the loss of 86 lives.
*[[3 June]], [[1962]]: A chartered [[Boeing 707|Boeing 707-328]] (registration {{airreg|F|BHSM|disaster}}), the [[Chateau de Sully]], from [[Orly Airport]] ([[Paris]], [[France]]) to [[Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport]] ([[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], USA) crashed during take-off; 130 of the total 132 people on board were killed. Two flight attendants sitting in the [[Nautical terms|aft]] (tail or rear) section of the aircraft were saved. The investigation found a faulty servo motor, which had led to an improper (and non-adjustable) elevator trim. Brake marks measuring 1,500 feet (457 m) were found on the runway, indicating that the cockpit crew tried to abort take-off. The aircraft rolled right while only seven feet (2 m) from the ground, causing its right wing to hit the ground. The 707-328 crashed 50 yards (45 m) from the runway and exploded.
*[[June 22]], [[1962]]: A [[Boeing 707|Boeing 707-328]] crashed into a hill during bad weather, while attempting to land in Guadeloupe, West Indies, killing all 113 on board. The aircraft was attempting a non-precision NDB approach. A malfunctioning VOR station, and poor NDB reception due to thunderstorms in the area, were blamed for the accident.
*[[June 27]], [[1976]]: Flight 139 from [[Tel Aviv]] to [[Paris]] through [[Athens]] was hijacked by a [[Palestinian]] group. The [[Airbus A300]] and its 260 occupants were taken to [[Entebbe]], [[Uganda]], where they were rescued by [[Israeli]] soliders the following week. See [[Operation Entebbe]].
*On [[June 26]], [[1988]], [[Air France Flight 296|Flight 296]], an [[Airbus A320|A320-100]] of Air France crashed near the airfield of Mulhouse-Habsheim during an airshow, in Alsace/France. The aircraft overflew the airfield in good weather. Seconds later the aircraft touched the tops of trees behind the runway and crashed into a forest. Three passengers died in the accident and about fifty were injured.
*In 1994, a group of men from the [[Algeria]]n group [[Armed Islamic Group|GIA]] hijacked [[Air France Flight 8969|Flight 8969]], intending to crash it into the [[Eiffel Tower]]. French [[GIGN]] intervened and prevented an incident.
*On [[July 25]], [[2000]], [[Air France Flight 4590|Flight 4590]], a chartered Concorde departing from De Gaulle airport in Paris bound for [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|JFK]] crashed just after take-off in [[Gonesse]] impacting a hotel. All 109 people on board died plus four people on the ground.
*On [[January 23]], [[2003]], two bodies fell off Flight 112 (from Paris [[Charles de Gaulle International Airport]] to [[Shanghai Pudong International Airport]]) right before its landing in [[Shanghai]]. The two men were described to appear European by witnesses in the village where one of the bodies fell through the roof of a house and the other plunged into an orchard. No one was reported hurt.[http://english.people.com.cn/200301/26/eng20030126_110778.shtml] [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/2687059.stm]
*On [[August 2]], [[2005]], [[Air France Flight 358|Flight 358]], an [[Airbus A340|A340-300]] (registration {{airreg|F|GLZQ|disaster}}) with 297 passengers and 12 crew, overran the runway and crashed into trees at [[Toronto Pearson International Airport]] in bad weather conditions. The aircraft caught fire. All passengers survived, although a reported 43 people were taken to hospital for minor injuries.

France has been the target of many [[Aircraft hijacking|hijackings]]: [[1973]] [[Marseille]]; [[1976]] Benghazi ([[Operation Entebbe]]) and [[Saigon|Ho Chi Minh City]]; [[1977]] [[Benghazi]]; [[1983]] [[Geneva]]; [[1984]] Geneva twice; 1989 [[Algiers]]; [[1993]] [[Nice]]; [[1994]] Algiers; 1999 [[Paris]]. On [[December 24]], [[2003]], three Air France flights bound for [[LAX]] were cancelled because of fears that [[Terrorism|terrorist]] group members would board.

==Livery==
{{Sectstub}}
Air France's livery is a [[Eurowhite]] scheme, composed of primarily [[white]] with [[blue]] and [[red]] accents.

==Trivia==

* The song featured in the Air France commercials, and the song played before and after Air France flights is "Between Us" by the band Aswefall.

* There are ranks for the flight attendants. Two silver sleeve stripes denote a Chief Purser. One silver sleeve stripe denote a Purser. Flight Attendants do not have any sleeve stripes.

* Air France was named by the [[Association of European Airlines]] as one of seven airlines with a worse-than-average record for lost luggage in 2006. The average over 24 airlines is 15.7 bags per 1,000 passengers.<ref name="website">{{cite web
