Air France (formally Société Air France, S.A.), stylised as AIRFRANCE, is the French flag carrier headquartered in Tremblay-en-France, (north of Paris). It is a subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group and a founding member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance. As of 2013 Air France serves 35 destinations in France and operates worldwide scheduled passenger and cargo services to 164 destinations in 93 countries (including Overseas departments and territories of France) and also carried 59,513,000 passengers in 2011. The airline's global hub is at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, with Paris Orly Airport, Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, Marseille Provence Airport, Toulouse Blagnac Airport, and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport serving as secondary hubs. Air France's corporate headquarters, previously in Montparnasse, Paris, are located on the grounds of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, north of Paris.
Air France was formed on 7 October 1933 from a merger of Air Orient, Air Union, Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne (CIDNA), and Société Générale de Transport Aérien (SGTA).
During the Cold War, from 1950 until 1990, Air France was one of the three main Allied scheduled airlines operating in Germany at West Berlin's Tempelhof and Tegel airports.
In 1990, Air France acquired the operations of French domestic carrier Air Inter and international rival UTA – Union des Transports Aériens.
Air France served as France's primary national flag carrier for seven decades prior to its 2003 merger with KLM.
Between April 2001 and March 2002, the airline carried 43.3 million passengers and had a total revenue of €12.53bn. In November 2004, Air France ranked as the largest European airline with 25.5% total market share, and was the largest airline in the world in terms of operating revenue.
Air France operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing widebodied jets on long-haul routes, and uses Airbus A320 family aircraft on short-haul routes. Air France introduced the A380 on 20 November 2009 with service to New York's JFK Airport from Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport. The carrier's regional airline subsidiary, HOP!, operates the majority of its regional domestic and European scheduled services with a fleet of regional jet aircraft.Contents
Air France was formed on 7 October 1933, from a merger of Air Orient, Air Union, Compagnie Générale Aéropostale, Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne (CIDNA), and Société Générale de Transport Aérien (SGTA). Of these airlines, SGTA was the first commercial airline company in France, having been founded as Lignes Aériennes Farman in 1919. The constituent members of Air France had already built extensive networks across Europe, to French colonies in North Africa and farther afield. During World War II, Air France moved its operations to Casablanca (Morocco).
On 26 June 1945 all of France's air transport companies were nationalised. On 29 December 1945, a decree of the French government granted Air France the management of the entire French air transport network. Air France appointed its first flight attendants in 1946. The same year the airline opened its first air terminal at Les Invalides in central Paris. It was linked to Paris Le Bourget Airport, Air France's first operations and engineering base, by coach. At that time the network covered 160,000 km, claimed to be the longest in the world. Société Nationale Air France was set up on 1 January 1946.Air France Douglas DC-3 at Manchester Airport in 1952
European schedules were initially operated by a fleet of Douglas DC-3 aircraft. On 1 July 1946, Air France started direct flights between Paris and New York via refuelling stops at Shannon and Gander. Douglas DC-4 piston-engined airliners covered the route in just under 20 hours. In September 1947 Air France's network stretched east from New York, Fort de France and Buenos Aires to Shanghai.
By 1948 Air France operated 130 aircraft, one of the largest fleets in the world. Between 1947 and 1965 the airline operated Lockheed Constellations on passenger and cargo services worldwide. In 1946 and 1948, respectively, the French government authorised the creation of two private airlines: Transports Aériens Internationaux – later Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux – (TAI) and SATI. In 1949 the latter became part of Union Aéromaritime de Transport (UAT), a private French international airline.Lockheed Super Constellation of Air France at London (Heathrow) Airport in April 1955
Compagnie Nationale Air France was created by act of parliament on 16 June 1948. Initially, the government held 70%. In subsequent years the French state's direct and indirect shareholdings reached almost 100%. In mid-2002 the state held 54%.
On 4 August 1948 Max Hymans was appointed president. During his 13-year tenure he would implement modernisation practices centred on the introduction of jet aircraft. In 1949 the company became a co-founder of Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques (SITA), an airline telecommunications services company.Jet age reorganisationPassengers disembarking from a Sud-Est SE-161
In 1952 Air France moved its operations and engineering base to the new Paris Orly Airport South terminal. By then the network covered 250,000 km. Air France entered the jet age in 1953 with the original, short-lived de Havilland Comet series 1, the world's first jetliner.
During the mid-1950s it also operated the Vickers Viscount turboprop, with twelve entering service between May 1953 and August 1954 on the European routes. On 26 September 1953 the government instructed Air France to share long-distance routes with new private airlines. This was followed by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport's imposition of an accord on Air France, Aigle Azur, TAI and UAT, under which some routes to Africa, Asia and the Pacific region were transferred to private carriers.
On 23 February 1960 the Ministry of Public Works and Transport transferred Air France's domestic monopoly to Air Inter. To compensate for the loss of its domestic network Air France was given a stake in Air Inter. The following day Air France was instructed to share African routes with Air Afrique and UAT.
The airline started uninterrupted jet operations in 1960 with the Sud Aviation Caravelle and the Boeing 707; jet airliners cut travel times in half and improved comfort. Air France later became an early Boeing 747 operator and eventually had one of the world's largest 747 fleets.Air France Caravelle jetliner in 1977
On 1 February 1963 the government formalised division of routes between Air France and its private sector rivals. Air France was to withdraw services to West Africa (except Senegal), Central Africa (except Burundi and Rwanda), Southern Africa (including South Africa), Libya in North Africa, Bahrain and Oman in the Middle East, Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon) in South Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore in Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand as well as New Caledonia and Tahiti. These routes were allocated to the new Union des Transports Aériens (UTA), a new private airline resulting from the merger of TAI and UAT. UTA also got exclusive rights between Japan, New Caledonia and New Zealand, South Africa and Réunion island in the Indian Ocean, as well as Los Angeles and Tahiti.
From 1974, Air France began shifting the bulk of operations to the new Charles de Gaulle Airport north of Paris. By the early 1980s, only Corsica, Martinique, Guadeloupe, most services to French Guyana, Réunion, the Maghreb region, Eastern Europe (except the USSR), Southern Europe (except Greece and Italy), and one daily service to New York (JFK) remained at Orly. In 1974, Air France also became the world's first operator of the Airbus A300 twin-engined widebodied plane, Airbus Industrie's first commercial airliner for which it was a launch customer.Concorde service and rivalryAir France Concorde at CDG Airport in 2003.
On 21 January 1976, Air France operated its inaugural supersonic transport (SST) service on the Paris (Charles de Gaulle) to Rio (via Dakar) route with Anglo-French BAC-Aérospatiale Concorde F-BVFA. Supersonic services from Paris (CDG) to Washington Dulles International Airport began on 24 May 1976, also with F-BVFA. Service to New York (JFK) – the only remaining Concorde service until its end – commenced on 22 November 1977. Paris to New York was flown in 3 hours 23 minutes, at about twice the speed of sound. Approval for flights to the United States was initially withheld due to noise protests. Eventually, services to Mexico City via Washington, D.C. were started. Air France became one of only two airlines – British Airways being the other – to regularly operate supersonic services, and continued daily transatlantic Concorde service until late May 2003.
By 1983, Air France's golden jubilee, the workforce numbered more than 34,000, its fleet about 100 jet aircraft (including 33 Boeing 747s) and its 634,400 km network served 150 destinations in 73 countries. This made Air France the fourth-largest scheduled passenger airline in the world, as well as the second-largest scheduled freight carrier. Air France also codeshared with regional French airlines, TAT being the most prominent. TAT would later operate several regional international routes on behalf of Air France. In 1983 Air France began passenger flights to South Korea, being the first European airline to do so.
In 1986 the government relaxed its policy of dividing traffic rights for scheduled services between Air France, Air Inter and UTA, without route overlaps between them. The decision opened some of Air France's most lucrative routes on which it had enjoyed a government-sanctioned monopoly since 1963 and which were within its exclusive sphere of influence, to rival airlines, notably UTA. The changes enabled UTA to launch scheduled services to new destinations within Air France's sphere, in competition with that airline.Air France operated 33 Boeing 747s by 1983. Here, a 747–100 is seen at CDG Airport in 1978.
Paris-San Francisco became the first route UTA served in competition with Air France non-stop from Paris. Air France responded by extending some non-stop Paris-Los Angeles services to Papeete, Tahiti, which competed with UTA on Los Angeles-Papeete. UTA's ability to secure traffic rights outside its traditional sphere in competition with Air France was the result of a campaign to lobby the government to enable it to grow faster, becoming more dynamic and more profitable. This infuriated Air France.
In 1987 Air France together with Lufthansa, Iberia and SAS founded Amadeus, an IT company (also known as a GDS) that would enable travel agencies to sell the founders and other airlines' products from a single system.
In 1988, Air France was a launch customer for the fly-by-wire (FBW) A320 narrowbody twin, along with Air Inter and British Caledonian. It became the first airline to take delivery of the A320 in March 1988, and along with Air Inter became the first airlines to introduce Airbus A320 service on short-haul routes.Acquisitions and privatisationDassault Mercure of Air Inter which became part of Air France in 1990
On 12 January 1990, the operations of government-owned Air France, semi-public Air Inter and wholly private Union des Transports Aériens (UTA) were merged into an enlarged Air France. Air France's acquisition of UTA and Air Inter was part of an early 1990s government plan to create a unified, national air carrier with the economies of scale and global reach to counter potential threats from the liberalisation of the EU's internal air transport market.
On 25 July 1994, a new holding company, Groupe Air France, was set up by decree. Groupe Air France became operational on 1 September 1994. It acquired the Air France group's majority shareholdings in Air France and Air Inter (subsequently renamed Air Inter Europe). On 31 August 1994, Stephen Wolf, a former United Airlines CEO, was appointed adviser to the Air France group's chairman Christian Blanc. Wolf was credited with the introduction of Air France's hub and spoke operation at Paris Charles de Gaulle. (Wolf resigned in 1996 to take over as CEO at US Airways.)
In 1997, Air France Europe was absorbed into Air France. On 19 February 1999, French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin's Plural Left government approved the Air France's partial privatisation. Its shares were listed on the Paris stock exchange on 22 February 1999. In June 1999, Air France and Delta Air Lines formed a bilateral transatlantic partnership. On 22 June 2000, this expanded into the SkyTeam global airline alliance.Air France-KLM mergerThe merger of Air France and KLM occurred in 2004
On 30 September 2003, Air France and Netherlands-based KLM Royal Dutch Airlines announced the merger of the two airlines, the new company to be known as Air France-KLM. The merger became reality on 5 May 2004. At that point former Air France shareholders owned 81% of the new firm (44% owned by the French state, 37% by private shareholders), former KLM shareholders the rest. The decision of the Jean-Pierre Raffarin government to reduce the French state's shareholding in the former Air France group from 54.4% to 44% of the newly created Air France-KLM Group effectively privatised the new airline. In December 2004 the state sold 18.4% of its equity in Air France-KLM. The state's shareholding in Air France-KLM subsequently fell to just under 20%.
Air France-KLM became the largest airline in the world in terms of operating revenues, and third-largest (largest in Europe) in passenger kilometres. Although owned by a single company, Air France and KLM continued to fly under their own brand names. Air France-KLM remained part of the SkyTeam alliance, which then included Aeroflot, Delta Air Lines, Aeroméxico, Korean Air, Czech Airlines, Alitalia, Northwest Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air Europa, Continental Airlines, and Saudi Arabian Airlines . As of March 2004, Air France employed 71,654 people. As of March 2007, the airline employed 102,422 personnel.
According to Air France-KLM, the company's principal activities became:
On 17 October 2007, the creation of a profit and revenue-sharing transatlantic joint venture between Air France-KLM and Delta Air Lines was announced during a press conference at Air France-KLM's headquarters. The venture became effective on 29 March 2008. It aimed to exploit transatlantic opportunities to capture a major share of long-haul business traffic from London Heathrow Airport, which opened to unrestricted competition on that day as a result of the "Open Skies" pact between the EU and USA. It was envisaged that Air France and Delta, as well as fellow SkyTeam members Continental and Northwest, would begin nine daily round trips between London-Heathrow and destinations in the USA, including a daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service by Air France. Once the new Air France-Delta venture received antitrust immunity, it was to be extended to the other two transatlantic SkyTeam partners, enabling all four partners to codeshare flights as well as to share revenue and profit. The new transatlantic joint venture marks the Air France-KLM Group's second major expansion in the London market, following the launch of CityJet-operated short-haul services from London City Airport that have been aimed at business travellers in the City's financial services industry. However, the daily London (Heathrow) to Los Angeles service was not as successful as hoped, and was discontinued in November 2008.Recent developments

On 13 January 2009, Air France agreed to enter into recently privatised Alitalia's capital share with a 25% stake. This capital investment is coupled with a co-operation agreement on an industrial basis.
In 2010 the company opened its smartphone version of its corporate website.
In 2011 Air France launched its major sales offensive in Marseilles with Toulouse, Nice and Bordeaux following in 2012. The company also launched new long-haul destinations to Orlando, Cancun, Cape Town, Lima, Phnom Penh, Fort-de-France, Pointe-a-Pitre and also Montreal, Washington D.C.and Dubai on the Airbus A380.
On 12 January 2012 Air France-KLM announced their three-year transformation plan, called Transform 2015, to restore profitability. This plan works by restoring competitiveness through cost-cutting, restructuring the short- and medium-haul operations and rapidly reducing debt. The main objective of this plan is to turn Air France-KLM back into a world player by 2015. Air France has been losing 700 million euros a year. As the financial results of recent quarters demonstrate, the long-haul operations, also subject to increasing competition, cannot alone offset these losses.
On 22 February 2012 Air France released their plan for summer schedule. Because of the uncertain economic environment, Air France-KLM has set a limit of 1.4% maximum increase in capacity from 25 March 2012 – 28 October 2012.
On 21 June 2012 Air France-KLM had announced its decision to cut just under 10% of the total 53,000 workforce (about 5,000 jobs) by the end of next year in an attempt to restore profitability by 1,700 jobs natural turnover and the rest by voluntary redundancies, so hopefully no compulsory redundancies.
At the beginning of July 2012, it was announced that Air France-KLM found partners for the new African start-up airline Air Cemac, which was co-founded by six countries in Central Africa to replace the former Air Afrique. But several problems and two partners, who decided to back out, delayed the implementation of the project. Following its launch, Air Cemac announced it would commence operations in 2013.
As of August 2012, the Transform 2015 plan was accepted by ground staff and pilot unions but rejected by cabin crew unions.Corporate affairs and identity Head officeHead office of Air France in Roissypôle, Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Tremblay-en-France
Air France's head office is located in the Roissypôle complex on the grounds of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and in the commune of Tremblay-en-France, Seine-Saint-Denis, near the city of Paris. Wil S. Hylton of The New York Times described the facility as "a huge white box that squats near the runways at Charles de Gaulle Airport."
The 130,000 square metres (1,400,000 sq ft) complex was completed in December 1995. The French firm Groupement d'Etudes et de Méthodes d'Ordonnancement (GEMO) managed the project. The architect was Valode & Pistre and the design consultants were Sechaud-Boyssut and Trouvin. The project cost 137,000,000 euros (less than 700 million francs). The runways of the airport are visible from the building. The Air France Operations Control Centre (OCC, French: Centre de Contrôle des Opérations, CCO), which coordinates Air France flights worldwide, is situated at the AF head office.
For about 30 years prior to December 1995, Air France's headquarters were located in a tower adjacent to the Gare Montparnasse rail station in the Montparnasse area and the 15th arrondissement of Paris. By 1991 two bids for the purchase of the Square Max Hymans building had been made. By 1992 the complex was sold to MGEN for 1.6 billion francs. By that year Air France had planned to move its head office to Roissypôle, taking 50,000 square metres (540,000 sq ft) of space inside the hotel, office, and shopping complex on the grounds of Charles de Gaulle Airport. After Air France moved to Tremblay-en-France, the ownership of the former head office complex was transferred.
On a previous occasion the head office was at 2 rue marbeuf in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.Foreign offices
Air France's United States offices are in the 125 West 55th Street building in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Air France first signed a lease to occupy the building in 1991. The site also formerly housed the New York City city ticket office for Air France.
Air France-KLM's head office for United Kingdom and Ireland operations, which includes facilities for Air France and KLM, is located in Plesman House in Hatton Cross. The facility's inauguration was on 6 July 2006. Air France moved the office from Hounslow to Hatton.Crew base
Air France Cité PN, located at Charles de Gaulle Airport, acts as the airline's crew base. The building, developed by Valode & Pistre, opened in February 2006. The first phase consisted of 33,400 square metres (360,000 sq ft) of space and 4,300 parking spaces. The building is connected to the Air France head office.Vaccination centre
Air France operates the Air France Vaccinations Centre in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. The centre distributes vaccines for international travel. Since 2001 the centre was the only French vaccination centre certified International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001. In 2005 the centre moved from the Aérogare des Invalides to its current location.Aérogare des Invalides, 7th arrondissement, ParisAérogare des Invalides
The Aérogare des Invalides in the 7th arrondissement of Paris houses the Agence Air France Invalides and the Air France Museum. Until 2005 the building hosted the Air France Vaccinations Centre. On 28 August 1959 Air France opened a ticket and information agency in the former air terminal in Invalides, targeting transit passengers and customers from offices and companies in the Invalides area.Subsidiaries and franchises
In partnership with Dutch affiliate Transavia, Air France has launched Transavia.com France, a new low-cost subsidiary based at Orly Airport. Operations began in May 2007 with flights to leisure destinations in the Mediterranean region and North Africa. It is operating four "Next Generation" Boeing 737–800 aircraft. Transavia has a 40% stake, with Air France holding the rest. Air Corsica, CityJet and HOP! all operate flights on behalf of Air France, either as subsidiaries or as franchisees.Air France regional jet operated by Brit Air, now HOP!
The subsidiaries of Air France include:
In 2010 Air France migrated from an internally managed Passenger service system (Alpha3) that manages reservation, inventory and pricing to an external system (Altéa) managed by Amadeus. In rail ventures, Air France and Veolia are looking into jointly operating high-speed rail services in Europe. Routes have become available to operators in accordance with European rail liberalisation on 1 January 2010.LiveryBoeing 777-200ER with Air France's Eurowhite 1970s–2008 livery.
Air France's present livery is a "Eurowhite" scheme, comprising a white fuselage with the blue Air France title and design. The tail is white with a series of parallel red and blue lines across the it at an angle, and a small European flag at the top. This livery has been in use since the late 1970s. Prior to the "Eurowhite" livery, Air France aircraft had a bare-metal underside, extending up to a blue cheat-line that ran across the cabin windows. Above the cheat-line the fuselage was again white, with Air France titles and a French flag. The tail was white with two thick blue lines, which tapered from the rear of the tail and met at point towards the front bottom. This basic livery, with minor variations, would appear on all post-war Air France aircraft until the late 1970s.Air France Boeing 777-300ER in the new livery landing at Montreal-Trudeau.
In 2008, to coincide with Air France's new logo, a new livery was unveiled. The 2008 livery saw the tail slightly changed; there are now 3 blue bars running down instead of 4 previously. The bars also now curve at the bottom, reflecting the design of the logo.Marketing
The new official song played before and after Air France flights (during boarding and after landing) is 'The World Can Be Yours' by Telepopmusik. Air France has used different popular music groups for its marketing and on-board ambience, ranging from The Chemical Brothers in 1999 to Telepopmusik in 2010.Uniforms
Air France uniforms denote the ranks for the flight attendants. Two silver sleeve stripes denote a Chief Purser. One silver sleeve stripe denote a Purser. Flight attendants do not have any sleeve stripes. The female cabin crew uniforms feature the stripes on the breast pocket rather than the sleeve for their male counterparts. Air France's current uniforms were created by French fashion designer Christian Lacroix.Logo
Upon its formation, Air France adopted the seahorse logo of its predecessor Air Orient, known as the hippocampe ailé (sometimes derisively called "la crevette" – or shrimp – by its employees), as its insignia. Prior to the Air France-KLM merger, the hippocampe ailé was used on the nose section of aircraft next to the Groupe Air France title; after the merger, the Air France-KLM logo was substituted at the nose area, and the hippocampe ailé was relocated to engine nacelles. The acronym "AF" has also featured prominently on the airline's flag and its signage. On 7 January 2008, Air France officially changed its logo to a red stripe.DestinationsAir France DestinationsAn Air France Boeing 777 specially painted in SkyTeam livery to commemorate the airline's membershipMain article: Air France destinations
Air France is a full service global airline as of 2011 Air France flies to 35 domestic destinations and 156 international destinations in 90 countries (including Overseas departments and territories of France) across 6 major continents. As of 2013 Air France will fly to 35 domestic destinations and 164 international destinations in 93 countries. This includes Air France Cargo services and those destinations served by franchisees Air Corsica, CityJet and HOP!.
Most of Air France's international flights operate from Paris-Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport. Air France also has a strong presence at Paris-Orly, Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, Marseilles Provence, Toulouse Blagnac, Nice Côte d'Azur and Bordeaux-Merignac airports as part of the Air France-KLM regional offensive that allows the airports to become important airports in Europe. As Air France becomes more a strategic partner with Delta Air Lines and Alitalia through the SkyTeam alliance and through a substantial joint venture, new routes and code-share agreements are developing rapidly.Hub information
In addition to its subsidiaries CityJet and HOP!, and its SkyTeam alliance partnership, Air France offers frequent flyer partnerships with approximately two-dozen airlines (as of June 2013).

Air France signed as a launch customer for the Airbus A380-800 "superjumbo" in 2001. Air France had ordered 12 Airbus A380-800 aircraft, with options on a further two. Air France was the first airline in Europe to be operating the A380 with Lufthansa following in June 2010. The first A380 was delivered on 30 October 2009, and the Paris to New York route was used as the first route. Following delivery of the second A380, Air France started using it on the Paris to Johannesburg route from 17 February 2010. With delivery of the third A380 in April 2010, they increased the frequency of the Johannesburg route to daily. Additionally, between 12 June and 30 August 2010, the carrier scheduled flights between Paris and London using the A380, to avoid an 18-hour layover in Paris for the aircraft used on the Johannesburg route. This route performed very well, with an average load factor of 96%.
The fourth A380 was delivered in August 2010, and was used to begin A380 flights to Tokyo, which started on 1 September 2010 and resumed in March 2012 after a brief suspension. From April 2011 until June 2012, Air France offered daily service aboard the A380 to Montreal. This service was reduced to 4 weekly flights during the summer of 2012, and was cancelled in October 2012. Air France also launched the A380 on services to Washington D.C. in summer 2011. Air France also sent the A380 to Dubai from December 2011 until March 2012. The A380 began service to Los Angeles on 28 May 2012. It also initiated service to Singapore in the third quarter in 2012, although the service will cease in September 2013.

On 14 November 2008, Air France released the first picture of an Airbus A320 with registration F-GFKJ that has been repainted in the full 1946 paint scheme to celebrate the airline's 75 years anniversary. This heritage aircraft was planned to fly under the special colours until early 2010. As of May 2013, the heritage aircraft was still in service.Fleet history
Over the years, Air France has operated the following aircraft types:This transport-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
The five Air France Concordes were retired on 31 May 2003, as a result of insufficient demand following the 25 July 2000 crash of AF Concorde F-BTSC, at Gonesse (near Charles de Gaulle Airport), as well as higher fuel and maintenance costs. British Airways flew its last Concorde service on 24 October 2003. Concorde F-BVFA was transferred to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, an annex of the National Air and Space Museum in the Chantilly area of Fairfax County, Virginia, United States, near Washington Dulles International Airport. F-BVFB was given to the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum in Germany, F-BTSD to the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace at Le Bourget Airport in Paris, while F-BVFC returned to its place of manufacture in Toulouse, at the Airbus factory. F-BVFF is the only example to remain at Charles de Gaulle Airport.Cabin classesLa Première (First) seats on a Boeing 777.
Air France has four primary classes of international service: La Première (First), Affaires (Business), Premium Voyageur (Premium Economy) and Voyageur (Economy). European short-haul and medium-haul flights feature Voyageur in the rear cabin and Premium Affaires along with Premium Eco in the forward cabin as classes of service. For flights to the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, a premium economy class, Alizé, is also offered, and a Premium Voyageur class has been announced for selected international routes. Inflight entertainment via AVOD (Audio Video on Demand) is available in all cabins on all long-haul aircraft.La Première
La Première (former L'Espace Première), Air France's long-haul first class product, is available on the Airbus A380 along with four-class Boeing 777-300ER and 777-200ER aircraft.

Update: Lily is now in her forever home, but don't forget about her furry friends!
Lily is a well-mannered and loveable girl. Nothing makes her happier than affection and attention from her human friends. And a good belly rub is even better! This mellow girl comes with a few tricks up her sleeve. She already knows how to sit, stay and give paw. Not too shabby if you ask us!
In her previous home, Lily did live with other dogs, and we're pretty sure she was the leader of the pack. She seems to want to be the boss of other dogs, so if she finds herself in a home with other fur-kids, they'll need to understand she's the queen bee. But, we do think she'd be happiest in a home where she's the only child and can soak up all the attention from her family.
Lily is up for adoption at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, and if you adopt her, her initial exam is free compliments of our Pet Connections' vet sponsors:
About Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is a limited-access humane society and provides services to more than 15,000 cats, dogs, puppies and kittens each year. Operating continuously since 1925, we have been positively impacting animal welfare and addressing overpopulation in Palm Beach County through a variety of services.
Through the adoption and spay/neuter programs, our vision is to ensure that there are no homeless animals and every animal has a home in Palm Beach County.
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, Humane Society of the Palm Beaches, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, receiving no state or federal funding. It is dependent exclusively upon private donations, grants, bequests and fundraising events to provide quality programs and services to the community. Your donations directly support the services and programs in place to help animals in need.
Our mission is to provide shelter to lost, homeless and unwanted animals; to furnish medical and other services for the care of companion animals; to care for, protect, and find quality homes for homeless and neglected animals; to advocate animal welfare, community involvement and education to further the bond between people and animals, for the mutual benefit of both.

I've shared this story before but it's worth mentioned again. I was speaking to a client about their social media presence. Well, it was actually their lack of a social media presence. They didn't have a Facebook page, they didn't realize that they had a Twitter account that had been set to Tweet AutoBlog via RSS, and they through that Google+ was a premium service that Google was selling. Don't laugh. This was one of the darkest days of my marketing career.

Thirty-Sixth President: Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969)
His election slogan was "All the way with LBJ". As seen here.
#president #america #usa #branding #lyndon b johnson
"I am concerned about the whole man. I am concerned about what the people, using their government as an instrument and a tool, can do toward building the whole man, which will mean a better society and a better world."
These are all amazing but I think LBJ's is my favorite. It looks like a book cover.
Guys…best tumblr.
These are awesome.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
A 13th surgery is scheduled for Tripp Halstead, but this time it's not on his brain.
The toddler who has been in a hospital for more than five months, except for last weekend, will have a surgery on Friday to remove his gallbladder.
"It is kind of hard to imagine that a 2-year-old having his gallbladder removed is something we consider minor surgery, but considering what Tripp has gone through, this seems like nothing," his father Bill wrote on Facebook. "It has been nice having a couple of days away from work to spend up here with Tripp, being around him really keeps thing in perspective."
The family earlier this week announced that if the surgery goes well, the toddler could leave the hospital and return to his grandparents' home on Monday.
Earlier this week, Halstead had elevated liver enzymes, an inflamed pancreas and gall stones. But on Wednesday, his heart rate and breathing returned to normal levels.
The family also announced that the Gwinnett Braves and Fundracers will host a 5K and Fun Run to help support the Halstead family on June 22 at Coolray Field. The chip-timed event will also be a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. Music, door prizes, awards and food are planned for the event. For more information or to register, go to www.trippstrot.com.
Early bird registration is available for $25 before May 22nd. Family discount registration is available.

"Engy is very overpowered in arenas. Most Highend Arena player have Engy as there profession. This was a needed nerf."
This is the exact problem. Not everyone plays freaking arena. I am so tired of arena ruining all other aspects of pvp in this game. If the problem was really something only seen in arena, then wtf, why can't they just make this change for arena?
I hate arena more and more, every damn day.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Great post Casey.Yeah, I heard about these T's from Herr on Mike's blog on the game. I don't like it at all. I love the emotion - as long as you don't physically do anything crossing the line - they should let it go. Anyways, just when I thought I couldn't love Marcus anymore, he just steps it up . . .MAR-CUS CAM-BY!!! I'm sure we will/should have have those cheers at some point this season, like we had vs. OKC when he had that sweet game with 30 pts - though maybe the first time is the only special one, but hey, a guy can dream can't he? :-)
MARCUS CAMBY FOR SENATOR!!! Wait, we need him on the floor. Nevermind. But great story Casey. Camby's veteran influence is something to not be overlooked. While we all say "Oh Roy and Aldridge are in their 5th years," they're still babies in this league. It's good to have "the don" there when needed.
Camby is a dream come true. For all the years I hated him when we played against him, I secretly day dreamed that he was on our team. So a dream does come true
Way to go Blazers, great start to this season. Keep rollin!
Love all that Camby brings to this team!!
I agree...Camby was a GREAT addition. He will continue to be valuable.
Can you imagine if we get all three centers back in service. Maybe a dream. Camby's got great heart, I admire his tenacity.I hope we do not overwork the poor fellow before, another center comes back online
i don't think everyone truly understands what Marcus does fo the blazers. his numbers look great so far this season, but it's the emotion, leadership, veteran presence and hustle which will go a long way.~ Kassandra

The huge potential of cinema as a means of bridging cultures and meeting minds has been central to the growth of the Dubai International Film Festival since its inception in 2004. And as the Festival has grown, in line with its wonderfully diverse and cosmopolitan home city, the concept of the Cultural Bridge has remained paramount to our philosophy. And whereas previous editions of DIFF have featured panel discussions and special screenings, 2010, sees the Cultural Bridge supercharged into a day of city-wide celebration of film, culture and art.
On December 16, we will be screening a special selection of films from across all our programmes, all of which reflect the pluralist ethos embodied by 'Cultural Bridge'. These are marked accordingly in the Catalogue and online.
We will also be teaming up with a number of local art galleries across Dubai, to reflect the astonishing quality and variety of contemporary and Modern art from across the Middle East to be found in the city. Dubai's art scene has flourished in recent years, with more and more renowned artists from across the region choosing to work and exhibit in the city.
Bridging art and audience participation sees one of Dubai's leading art spaces, The Jam Jar bring a 'Peace Wall' to the Jumeirah Beach Residence's 'The Walk'. There's also an opportunity for VIP visitors to DIFF to engage with authentic Emirati culture with a visit to the Sheikh Mohammed Centre For Cultural Understanding, a centre that is devoted to explaining the culture and tradition of the UAE, in a relaxed, informal and informative way. The visit includes a tour of a mosque and a free and easy chat, in which visitors are encouraged to ask about any aspect of life in the city.
List of films:
- Mandoo
Take a tour through some of Dubai's most exciting and diverse local art galleries for a fresh perspective on the region's culture. Hop on and off the ArtBus as it takes you on a wonderful tour of discovering new artistic talent and fresh cultural perspectives. Please contact the Guest Relations office or Dubai Film Market Information Desk at DIFF Headquarters to sign up for the tour. Participating galleries include:
ART SAWA http://www.artsawa.com Art Sawa proudly showcases for the first time in the U.A.E, the solo photography exhibition of the works by the talented emerging Egyptian Artist Marwa Adel, titled Memory. CARBON 12 www.carbon12dubai.com Group exhibition of works by Katherine Bernhardt, Rui Chafes, Gil Heitor Cortesao, Erwin Olaf, Sara Rahbar, Farzan Sadjadi, Michael Sailstorfer, and Ralf Ziervogel. GALLERY IVDE
http://www.ivde.net Nicky Nodjoumi is known for his sense of political commitment. He has always been very sensitive to the great political and social upheavals of the twentieth century. His inspiration also stems from the world news that he reads in newspapers in his daily routine. The MAJLIS GALLERY http://www.themajlisgallery.com Sylvia Woodcock Clarke, June Bartlett, and Sophie Walbeoffe met each other through The Majlis Gallery. Their personalities are as diverse as their painting styles, they revel in travelling together, sketching and painting as they explore and record their joint experiences. Recent trips together have taken in Syria Oman and of course the UAE. Some of the work in this exhibition , so nearly called "Oestrogen in a Jeep" will have been finished on the spot, some worked further in their studios. SHOWCASE GALLERY http://www.showcasedubai.com Ave's most recent Rostam works, Radioactive Rostam (2010), reproduced as limited edition inkjet prints on canvas. In this new series Rostam is depicted amongst lavish blooms, his figure duplicated with multiple arms, reminiscent of supernatural Hindu gods and goddesses, in evidence of Ave's innate spirituality.

The connection with literature and Persian poetry has been reflected in scripts and letters of Iran and can be traced through history of Persian art. Letters and words has been the inspiring source for the artists not only expressing themselves by images but also by words and their synthesis (words into artworks). The traditional calligraphy allows optimum composition of letters with its strict rules for graphical shape and composition of the calligraphy as a whole. While contemporary calligraphy can transform the script to a non-representational illustration, images that are animated, abstract and harmonious with a powerful visual and Graphic content.

The Edmonton Oilers will do what's right for the organization.
The Oil will do what's right for the fans.
Edmonton will do nothing at all.
Nothing, to help turn this team's unpredictably horrendous season around.
There will be trades, mostly to change the culture of the team, which means veteran players beware...your time in Edmonton may soon be over.
This isn't another run at the endless speculation that has followed with the Oilers' continued disappointment.
There will be changes.
Trade is the most 'friendly' way, but it is possible Edmonton will take a far more aggressive approach and bury players in the minors, or wait until the end of the season and buy out contracts, if necessary.
That's a very harsh way to change the culture, but the team you see today will look much different by the end of the summer.
Names like Sheldon Souray, Ethan Moreau, Steve Staios, Fernando Pisani, Robert Nilsson and Andrew Cogliano are familiar to those who closely monitor the trade circles, however with the exception of Cogliano - who many outside of Alberta believe is a mere team change away from being a very good number two centre - most in the group assembled above are a tough sell.
Souray has two years left and a cap hit of $5.4 million.
As damning as that number is, there will be teams with interest.
Buffalo is believed to be in the market for a defenceman to help their power play. However, armed with a no-move clause, Souray won't be shuffling off to Buffalo...he just won't.
His interest in moving further West, not East, has been well documented.
Whether it's Souray, or any other long-serving member of this team who is tumbling through the rumour mill, these men will always be highly regarded by the organization for the battles they've helped this team win over the years. But, the truth is, the Oilers' leadership has run its course, hit the wall...it's time to move on.
Tradecentre on TSN on Mar. 3 promises to be very interesting.
A new beginning for the Edmonton Oilers starts with the Draft Lottery on either Apr. 12 or 13 (TBD).
A top-three pick will allow Edmonton to draft a potential star in June, be it a forward, either Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin, or defenceman Cam Fowler, who is ranked third among North American skaters by the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau.
All three have the potential to be cornerstone players.
The Oilers had a superstar, namely Chris Pronger, who helped them to Game 7 of the 2006 Stanley Cup final before Pronger decided Edmonton wasn't for him.
Without a superstar, it's almost impossible to win and the only way to acquire one without mortgaging the future is through the draft.
There are no guarantees Hall, Seguin or Fowler will develop into the franchise player the Oilers so desperately need, but it's the right place to start.

Thursday was the first day of school again for the third time this school year for students at Tuckahoe Elementary School, after a fire forced students out of their building.
For nearly a month, they've been isolated from their own school. Both parents and students say they welcomed returning to their campus.
For the past few weeks, their lesson has consisted of reading, writing, and re-location. Students at Tuckahoe Elementary were forced to have class at Short Pump Middle.
"We can go back to Tuckahoe now," said first-grader Miller Tatum, who knew just where he was heading.
A sign outside of school welcomed the youngsters back home.
"Oh, it is home and he's really glad to be back," said Noelle Watson, parent of another student.
Even though transitioning for her son was difficult.
"We're just five minutes from walking and I walk him in the morning and we walk home together. That's just part of what we've done since kindergarten so it's really been a hard transition to ride 30 minutes on a bus," Watson said.
Fire officials discovered a fire started on a couch causing major smoke damage throughout the building. After weeks of cleaning and painting, everything's back to normal, except a section of the basement.
"What we've done inside is sealed off the staircase that leads down to the basement so the students won't end up accidentally walking into it," said Andy Jenks with Henrico Schools.
As students walked off their school bus, that moment was full of the excitement of starting afresh.
"Our school has been painted and people have cleaned it," Tatum said.
"They've gone out of the way to keep the kids safe, to keep them engaged, keep them from feeling upset or concerned. The whole community has come together for this. It's been really remarkable," Watson added.
All of the renovations following the fire come with a hefty price tag, totaling nearly $1 million.

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Inga Rasmussen, April 2014
What do you do, if you want to snorkel in The Great Barrier Reef, but you can't swim?? You seek the help from crew member Max from the company Down Under Cruise and Dive, who is my new hero. He helped me not only to get into the water, but took me on an amazing journey, where we swam with a tiny little shark, saw lots of turtles and colourful fish - big and small. I'm happy to report we even found Nemo!!! I flew back to Cairns by helicopter...as you do ;-) The weather wasn't brilliant, as we had the left over rain from the cyclone. Still a day I'll cherish for the rest of my days !!
Reviewed by: Dr. Dorothee M, January 2014
We went out on a very lovely sunny and calm day so we enjoyed the trip very much. Snorkeling on two different spot was great. It was a bit crowded, as they try to get everyone in the water, even non-swimmers, who tend to stand on the corals (what is definitely very bad, espacially with fins) and keep hold on them etc. Food was nice, enough changing rooms etc. Really georgeous was our helicopter flight was, I really recommend this combination of cruise out and fly in.

FF7 Comic
Doubt anyone notices how amazingly is this comic drawn, from characters making them exactly what they are, backgrounds to monsters, so accurate you can forget yourself!
I say this in all seriousness, this is one of the best things I've read in a long while.
As a SIMPLE MORTAL I cannot comprehend the gravity of your statement, but I will thank you for it.
heya, I was just wondering if you had a folder of all the pages and if you could send them to me? I wouldn't ask but you see...I work a lot and don't get much time to read outside of work I just want them so I can read them on my phone. It would be much appreciated! My email is email@example.com if you decide to. Thanks!
i watch u 4this!XD
Maybe when you get to the comic where Cloud and Aerith or Tifa or Yuffie. I'm guessing it's going to be Aerith cause she's always the main one whenever you ignore the list of requirements to have the girl go out with Cloud, you could have Lightning from FFXIII interfere with their date or something.
Actually Cloud ending up with Barrett would be even more hilarious than a character from Final Fantasy 13 interfering. It will raise more question to Aeris or Tifa whether Cloud is gay or not. LOL
I can see how that is.
I just thought Lightning interfering would be funny cause everyone's going all: Lightning and Cloud should be together, or would make quote a pair, in couple or partners. I guess it's cause of their names. Lightning's come from Clouds.

RATHDRUM-- Tuesday was the first school day at the new Kootenai Technical Education campus. It's a facility that provides career training for high school students.
The Kootenai Technical Education Campus or K-TEC admits 500 students from the Post Falls, Rathdrum, and Coeur d'Alene area.
At K-TEC students focus on what they want to do after high school graduation.
11th and 12th graders get hands-on experience in health care, construction, and engineering.
5210 they don't have it at the high school, that's why it's such a great opportunity because we're going to be trained and ready.
School director Mark Cotner said the school is the first of its kind in North Idaho.
As of the first day of class several companies were already recruiting from K-TEC.

One day after it was learned former Alabama Agriculture Commissioner candidate Dale Peterson has an arrest record, Peterson spoke with a Birmingham talk radio station in an effort to set the record straight.
Peterson was taken into custody on October 1, 2012 after allegedly shoplifting at an area Wal-Mart. Peterson was booked under the name Roger Peterson, reports WBRC Fox 6.
Peterson was taken into custody by for theft 3rd degree at the Wal-Mart on U.S. Highway 150 in Hoover just outside of Birmingham. Police say Peterson pushed a shopping cart with beer and paper towels beyond the cash register without paying for the items.
Peterson told WAPI-FM that he was simply going to the restroom and had every intention of paying for the items. He said store security stopped him as he came out of the restroom.
His unique campaign commercials to become Alabama Ag. Commissioner, riding a horse and carrying a gun while telling potential voters he was going to go after "thugs and criminals", went viral online. Peterson's campaign, however, was ultimately unsuccessful.
Peterson was last in the news in January, issuing a statement saying he was declining a job offer from the man who beat him to become Ag. Commissioner. Peterson said the job offer was a scam, designed to neutralize him from any potential run in the future. Commissioner John McMillan has denied Peterson's claims.
