On 29 October at 10.07am, the aircraft took off from Paris-Orly airport and landed at Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe, nearly 12 hours later, after a short technical stop at Gander, Newfoundland. </p> <p>From now on, these two Airbus A320s will operate the 13 daily flights on the Caribbean network. This consolidated and enhanced network now offers new frequencies and destinations such as Santo Domingo, Saint Martin and Paramaribo. </p> <p>Alizé and Tempo, the two cabin classes Air France is offering on these Airbus A320s seating 166 passengers, can be adjusted according to requirements. </p> <p>With the entry into service of the Boeing 777-300ERs in replacement of the 747s operated up until now on routes between France and the French Caribbean to consolidate the regional network is further proof of Air France’s commitment to this part of the world. </p> <p> </p> network fleet Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:56:00 +0100
