YEREVAN. - Yerevan-Paris flight will be operated seven days per week
in July and August. This was announced by Commercial Director AF KLM
in Russia and CIS Simon Scholte during an event dedicated to the 80th
anniversary of Air France that was held in Yerevan on Friday evening.
Scholte said 45,000 tickets, and 9,000 of them in Yerevan, for
Yerevan-Paris flight had been sold.
"We are happy to announce increase in flights. Previously during
summer season the flights were operated four days a week, then we
decided to have six flights a week in May, June and September, and
seven a week in July and August," he said, adding that the company
expects 30-40 percent passenger growth.
This year the company marks two anniversaries: Air France-KLM 10-year
anniversary, and 80th anniversary of Air France.
"The 80th anniversary means Air Franc is one of the oldest airlines,
and of course transported famous people. Today we present an
exhibition of around 70 photos of famous passengers of Ari France,
among them Charles Aznavour, Federico Fellini, Frank Sinatra, Nikita
Khrushchev, Valentina Tereshkova," Scholte added.
An exhibition will be displayed at Zvartnots airport for two weeks,
and will be taken to Yerevan museum.
Representative of French Embassy in Yerevan, for her part, noted that
the Embassy supported increase in flights.
"Armenia-France business forum was held during the latest visit of
Francois Holland to Yerevan. By holding this forum, Armenia and France
wanted to underscore economic element of their relations. Air France
supported the call, and this means not only frequent, but high quality
flights for the passengers," Isabelle Guisnel said.
The Embassy representative noted that the schedule of flights is
convenient for those who want to travel from Paris to North or South
America.
The media conference was followed by the opening of a photo exhibition
and landing of Yerevan-Paris flight that could be watched by the
guests on a big screen.
The uniforms for Air France crew and flight attendants were designed
by world famous couturiers. World famous designers, such as Christian
Dior, Nina Ricci, Christian Lacroix, have been creating uniforms for
the company for already 80 years.
During the event, Armenian models presented more than a dozen of
costumes created for Air France in different years.
The organizers prepared a surprise for the guests. During a lottery,
one of the guests won Yerevan-Paris ticket.
