On 11 April 2017, Air France and Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) signed a three-year partnership. In this way, until 2019, Air France becomes an Official Partner of a series of sporting and themed events organized by A.S.O. in France in the field of running: the Fitbit Paris Semi-marathon, the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon, the 10 km l’Equipe, Run in Lyon, Run in Marseille, Run in Reims and the Run at Work and Run My City races.

Within the framework of this partnership, French and international participants in these events will be able to benefit from special fares for their Air France-KLM flights to the venue as well as exclusive benefits with the Air France-KLM Group’s Flying Blue loyalty program, such as the possibility of purchasing their race number with air miles, a SkyPriority lane to pick up their race number as well as access to the “Air France Flying Blue Running” private area on departure and arrival.

This agreement will enhance the experience offered by A.S.O.’s running events, providing runners with an excellent all-round experience, from the time they leave home to the time they cross the finishing line. It also strengthens A.S.O.’s desire to promote France as a destination, which is at the heart of many of its events”
