China-Europe journey market’s resilience retains Air France-KLM optimistic regardless of headwinds

In the primary three quarters, the corporate posted a 6 per cent year-on-year enhance in unit income from its Asian market, with a passenger load issue of 89 per cent, in keeping with its earnings.

“These are very healthy financial figures,” stated Steven van Wijk, Greater China normal supervisor at Air France-KLM. “Our approach is to remain flexible and responsive, ensuring we can continue to serve the China-Europe market even in a challenging environment, and we are working closely with our Chinese partners to capture new opportunities.”

The underlying China-Europe market was strong, stated van Wijk, who relocated to Beijing a number of months in the past. “I’m optimistic about the future prospects. I’m also highly confident in the Chinese market and the two-way trade relations,” he stated. “Our commitment to China is long-term.”

His confidence is underpinned by the rising China-France commerce ties and the sustained rise in journey demand from Chinese vacationers.
