Airline plans to increase capacity on the Toronto-Paris route by 15% by summer 2020 on top of a 20% increase over the past three years

Air France is vying for more Canadian customers — especially those who fancy lying flat in business class on overnight flights to Paris — with investments to increase the number of flights to and from Toronto on its newest Airbus aircraft.

“Canada is our third market after the U.S. and China,” chief executive Anne Rigail said in an interview. “It’s really very important for us to offer the best of our products to Ontario customers.” “The economy context is a bit concerning,” Rigail said. “We have this trade war that is affecting the customer demand. We see it on the yield.”

“That is why our business strategy in terms of quality of the offering improvement is so consistent for Canada,” he said. It’s also pitching itself as the sustainable choice given investments to renew its fleet. By 2025, it expects to take delivery of 28 A350s . In July 2019, Air France announced a $5.5-billion order for 60 A220s, the model formerly known as the C Series until Airbus took control of the plane from Bombardier.
