This is the way it might be more and more in the future. Air France-KLM Group and China Southern Airlines agreed to have exclusive discussion over the creation of a cargo joint venture in China. Air France-KLM Group and China Southern Airlines already have extensive cooperation in both passenger and cargo services.

Further details of the joint venture will be announced later after the discussions.

China Southern Airlines is the largest carrier in China in terms of fleet, routes and annual passenger carrying capacity. It operates more than 600 domestic and international routes with destinations to 152 cities throughout China and the world.

In 2006, China Southern Airlines carried 49.21 million passengers and was the only airline on the Chinese mainland to rank in the world’s top ten passenger carrying airlines.

Starting pretty much now Air France will add two evening flights per week on its Shanghai-Paris route. The move takes the total number of flights between the two cities to 12 each week.

The new flights will be operated with Boeing 777-200 planes, with three classes of service and 263 seats in total.

Frank Legre, general manager of Air France China, said in a statement plainly written by a PR, ‘The additional flights are a further proof of our commitment to Shanghai and our determination to offer a better service to our customers.’

Air France will fly seven day flights and five evening flights between Shanghai and Paris each week. This is not including the airline’s code-sharing flights between the two cities, which are operated by China Eastern which could well try and emulate the in-cabin service of Air France.

Air France currently runs 42 weekly flights between four Chinese cities and France.
