Air France KLM explores Australia-Africa links
AIR FRANCE KLM is targeting Australia’s resources industry with a new campaign to build awareness of flights to Africa’s main oil, gas and mining exploration regions.
Together with partner airlines, Air France KLM serves 52 destinations in Africa, and continues to increase flights to major resources markets, most recently adding daily services by Air France between Paris and Nigeria’s capital, Abuja.
"Many exploration companies operating in Australia, and suppliers serving those companies, have significant links with oil, gas and mining activities in Africa," said Tom Reeves, regional manager Australia and New Zealand for Air France KLM.
"We are targeting those companies to highlight our excellent flight connections from Australia to Africa’s key resource exploration regions, travelling via our European hubs in Paris and Amsterdam," said Reeves.
"We have introduced very competitive pricing from Australia, specifically for resources companies, and we offer Flying Blue Petroleum, a dedicated rewards programme for frequent fliers in the mining, oil and gas sectors."
Both Air France and KLM offer codeshare departures from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, connecting with their own flights from Asia to Europe, and beyond to Africa’s mining regions.
Connections are also available from Darwin, Cairns and the Gold Coast, and passengers from Papua New Guinea can join Air France and KLM in Australia.
