AIR FRANCE-KLM, LEADER BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE CARIBBEAN

Finally, to meet the demand during the peak tourist season in the French Antilles, the Company will be offering up to 13 weekly flights between Paris-Orly and Fort de France and 2 daily flights between Paris-Orly and Pointe à Pitre from 11 January to 27 March 2016.
