Air France adds flights

JAKARTA (JP): Air France will increase its flights between
Paris and Jakarta from four times a week to five beginning June
18, the airline said yesterday.

The airline's regional manager, Christian Herpin, said the
airline was increasing its flights because the number of
passengers traveling between Indonesian and France had risen 10
percent.

Air France carried around 17,000 passengers from Paris to
Jakarta and 18,000 passengers from Jakarta to Paris last year.

The company managed to post its first profit in six years --
at 394 million French francs (US$67.64 million) in the fiscal
year ended on March 30.

Herpin said the company's revenue increased by 8.3 percent to
42.7 billion francs in 1997. (13)
