Did he wanted to become the AF ceo?
Airlinair was a ATR operator and an operator for the PST lines within France.
Customers are mainly local businesses needing two return flights daily during the week to Paris.
They arrive at 8am in Orly and comeback the same day with the 6pm flight.
The business case works. It does not need to be done by AF.
Irnically, those lines are now operated by Chalair or Twinjet or Amelia… with an AF codeshare and with the former ATRs of Hop!
2. Again I never understood why the guy (one person again) who created Britair sold it to AF.
