Both airlines will expand capacity to long-haul destinations, particularly to Latin America (up 9.5%) and Asia (up 6.1%). Capacity to Africa and the Middle East will be increased by 2.1%. Capacity to North America (up 0.2%) will remain stable compared with the winter 2005-2006 season, while capacity to the French Caribbean & Indian Ocean networks will be slightly reduced (down 1.9%). On the medium-haul network, Air France is boosting capacity mainly to Eastern Europe, while the addition of the seventh connecting bank at Schiphol airport this summer will enable KLM to increase its number of frequencies. The fleet modernization programme continues, with the arrival this winter of three Airbus A330-200s at KLM to replace their Boeing 767-300s, the phasing out of Air France's remaining Boeing 737-500s, replaced by Airbus A318/319/320s and the continued roll-out of the new Boeing 777-300ERs on the Caribbean and Indian Ocean routes. By the end of this winter season, practically the entire Air France long-haul fleet will be equipped with the new cabin interiors. Air France and KLM are coordinating flight times and expanding their respective schedules to provide their customers with the most attractive combined offering. Passengers now benefit from a choice of two flight times on the same day by opting to travel one way with either KLM via Amsterdam or with Air France via Paris at the most attractive fares available. Flying Blue programme members can benefit from a privileged service, earn and use Miles on all routes served by both airlines.
