2013-02-22 — /travelprnews.com/ — As from 15 April 2013, Air France will operate 10 weekly flights to Abidjan in the Ivory Coast by Boeing 777-300 and Airbus A340 from its hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
To better meet the needs of its customers, Air France is continuing to invest in the Ivory Coast by increasing the number of services from 7 to 10 weekly flights. Thanks to these 3 additional frequencies, Air France customers will be able to choose the departure time and services that best suit them.
This announcement is part of Air France’s development strategy to Africa. The Company is increasing services to Libreville with a daily flight as from 31 March. On the same day, it will be increasing capacity by 18% to Nigeria, by operating a larger capacity aircraft (Boeing 777-200) to Port Harcourt and Abuja.
Air France and KLM operate flights to 42 destinations on the African continent and more than 1,000 destinations worldwide with their SkyTeam partners.

In addition to the daily flight by Boeing 777-300, 3 additional frequencies, by Airbus A340, will operate on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. In this way, 3 times a week customers will be able to choose the departure time that best suits them.

DEPENDING ON THE FLIGHT AND AIRCRAFT CHOSEN, AIR FRANCE OFFERS:
on board the Boeing 777-300, 303 seats in 4 cabin classes (8 seats in La Première, 67 seats in Business, 28 in Premium Economy and 200 in Economy).
on board the Airbus 340, 275 seats in 3 cabin classes, (30 seats in Business, 21 in Premium Economy and 224 in Economy).
Air France’s La Première cabin redefines the codes of exceptional service to satisfy customers who are sensitive to the slightest detail. Consideration, discretion and anticipation are three essential qualities of the dedicated airport staff and the 1,000 La Première cabin crew. La Première is available on the daily flights AF 702 and AF 703 to and from Abidjan, operated by Boeing 777-300.
The Business class cabin offers a style of travel where the art of hospitality is the key. A unique experience with exclusive and personalized service. For even greater peace of mind, a few months ago Air France inaugurated the largest Business class lounge on its network at the opening of the new boarding satellite, hall M, at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Terminal 2E.
The Premium Economy cabin is located at the front of the aircraft, between the Business class and the Economy cabins, separated from both by a partition. A fixed-shell seat, the result of the latest technological innovations, offers 40% more space compared to the Economy cabin. Passengers benefit from an individual personalized space to work or relax in peace and quiet.
The Economy cabin offers quality meals, a wide choice of entertainment on demand on a 6.4-inch individual screen, a modern and comfortable 44-cm wide seat which reclines to 119° with a tilting seat, an adjustable headrest, an adjustable footrest, a tray table with rounded edges, a glasses holder and a cup holder. The retractable armrests even when the seatback is in a reclined position also make life easier for families on board.
