Special Air France flight by Airbus A380 to Cancun (Mexico)
Today, 27 November 2013, Air France is operating a special flight from Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Cancun by Airbus A380 for the first time. This exceptional flight illustrates Air France’s ambitions on this rapidly developing market.
On this occasion, Patrick Alexandre, EVP Commercial, Sales and Marketing at Air France-KLM declared: “35 years after the Concorde landed in Mexico City, this special flight by A380 to Cancun illustrates the importance of Mexico and Latin America for Air France-KLM. This unique event reflects the Group's desire to continue to innovate and surprise our customers. It is also a testimony of our trust in the Mexican authorities.”
The Ambassador for Mexico in France, Agustín García-López Loaeza, added: “France and Mexico are linked more than ever before and Air France is one of the protagonists. On 28 April 1952, Captain Moreau flew 34 passengers from France to Mexico City in 22 hours and with three stopovers. Today, for the first time in Latin America, in a symbolic way, Air France’s avant-garde A380 has multiplied by more than 10 the number of passengers in half the time. The air link established between France and Mexico is today stronger than it has ever been. We are striving - and Air France is the proof - to revive and strengthen the historical ties between Mexico and France.”
