Air France-KLM Faces €180 Million Revenue Hit as Tourists Avoid Paris During Olympics
The airline reports a significant drop in summer travel to Paris, with both international and local tourists altering their plans.
- Air France-KLM anticipates a revenue shortfall of up to €180 million due to reduced travel to Paris during the Olympics.
- The decline is attributed to tourists avoiding potential disruptions and high prices in the city.
- French residents are also postponing their holidays until after the Games, further impacting airline revenues.
- Despite the downturn, Air France-KLM expects travel to normalize by the end of August and September.
- Increased capacity from airlines like Ryanair has not offset the reduced demand for travel to Paris.
