    May 31, 2014 | 10:01

    YEREVAN. - Yerevan-Paris flight will be operated seven days per week
    in July and August. This was announced by Commercial Director AF KLM
    in Russia and CIS Simon Scholte during an event dedicated to the 80th
    anniversary of Air France that was held in Yerevan on Friday evening.

    Scholte said 45,000 tickets, and 9,000 of them in Yerevan, for
    Yerevan-Paris flight had been sold.

    "We are happy to announce increase in flights. Previously during
    summer season the flights were operated four days a week, then we
    decided to have six flights a week in May, June and September, and
    seven a week in July and August," he said, adding that the company
    expects 30-40 percent passenger growth.

    This year the company marks two anniversaries: Air France-KLM 10-year
    anniversary, and 80th anniversary of Air France.

    "The 80th anniversary means Air Franc is one of the oldest airlines,
    and of course transported famous people. Today we present an
    exhibition of around 70 photos of famous passengers of Ari France,
    among them Charles Aznavour, Federico Fellini, Frank Sinatra, Nikita
    Khrushchev, Valentina Tereshkova," Scholte added.

    An exhibition will be displayed at Zvartnots airport for two weeks,
    and will be taken to Yerevan museum.

    Representative of French Embassy in Yerevan, for her part, noted that
    the Embassy supported increase in flights.

    "Armenia-France business forum was held during the latest visit of
    Francois Holland to Yerevan. By holding this forum, Armenia and France
    wanted to underscore economic element of their relations. Air France
    supported the call, and this means not only frequent, but high quality
    flights for the passengers," Isabelle Guisnel said.

    The Embassy representative noted that the schedule of flights is
    convenient for those who want to travel from Paris to North or South
    America.

    The media conference was followed by the opening of a photo exhibition
    and landing of Yerevan-Paris flight that could be watched by the
    guests on a big screen.

    The uniforms for Air France crew and flight attendants were designed
    by world famous couturiers. World famous designers, such as Christian
    Dior, Nina Ricci, Christian Lacroix, have been creating uniforms for
    the company for already 80 years.

    During the event, Armenian models presented more than a dozen of
    costumes created for Air France in different years.

    The organizers prepared a surprise for the guests. During a lottery,
    one of the guests won Yerevan-Paris ticket.
