Air France-KLM has launched a tender to renew and grow its
medium-haul fleet for its carriers KLM and Transavia, a spokesman
from the airline group said Monday.
The company confirmed the tender after its Chief Executive
Benjamin Smith said in an interview with Dutch newspaper Het
Financieele Dagblad that it started talks with European plane maker
Airbus SE and its U.S. rival Boeing Co. for the purchase of 160
single-aisle jets.
Air France-KLM--which is scheduled to release its second-quarter
results on July 30--has greatly suffered from the coronavirus
pandemic, booking hefty losses and bleeding cash, but capacity is
picking up this summer as people crave for vacations and
restrictions are easing.
