Order HereAir France has confirmed plans for its HOP! regional subsidiary to take over the operation of the parent company’s domestic and regional services from its hub at Paris Orly.
These will include Air France’s La Navette (“The Shuttle”) services to major French regional destinations such as Bordeaux, Marseilles, Nice and Toulouse. HOP! is made up of three Air France regional affiliates—Airlinair, Brit Air and Regional.
The move is part of Air France’s plan toward recapturing domestic and regional passenger traffic from low-cost carriers such as Ireland’s Ryanair and the UK’s easyJet. Within France, Air France has also to contend with the growing network of high-speed trains, which are often competitive in time compared to the total air journey time when one factors in negotiating airports.
“The time has come for the Air France Group to gain market share on the short-haul market,” Air France chairman and CEO Frederic Gagey said. “Competition is fierce with trains and more recently coach travel and the car-pooling trend. An extensive network in France, a strong commercial presence in this market and a simpler and more reactive organization will enable HOP! Air France to establish itself as the reference on the French domestic network.”
However, domestic and regional Air France routes operating to and from its international hub at Paris Charles de Gaulle are not affected by the latest development.
HOP! operates more than 600 daily frequencies, based at its two hubs at Orly and Lyon.
