Care to share?

Air France-KLM and CMA CGM Group are to terminate their existing strategic partnership on cargo from March 31, a year after it became effective. The two companies are in negotiations for a new agreement that will see them collaborate on an independent basis.

In a media release on Tuesday, Air France-KLM said: “The tight regulatory environment in certain important markets has prevented the cooperation from working in an optimal way.”

Air France-KLM and CMA CGM Group announced their plans

for an extensive, 10-year global strategic partnership in the air freight business on May 18, 2022. It became effective a year later in April 2023. CMA CGM’s air freight business network and a fleet of six aircraft were combined with that of Air France-KLM, which brought the six full-freighters of Air France and KLM/Martinair as well as belly capacity of 160 long-haul aircraft into the partnership.
