Air France-KLM

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, Air France (AF) has been adapting its network and flight schedule in line with travel restrictions and demand.

Throughout April and May, AF continued to operate a skeleton service from Heathrow, Manchester and Edinburgh to assist UK customers with essential travel and repatriation and since the start of June added Birmingham and Newcastle.

The French flag carrier currently operates a daily service from both Heathrow and Manchester to its hub at Paris CDG.  Frequency will increase in line with demand with a three-daily service scheduled from Heathrow from 13 July, complimented by a twice-daily service from Manchester. Air France plans to operate 80% of its pre-Covid global network in summer 2020. Gradual frequency increases throughout the period will result in the carrier reaching 35% of the capacity initially planned for July and 40% for August.

KLM has not officially announced details of its UK return but is expected in the coming weeks to open services from Aberdeen, Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heathrow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle airports to its Amsterdam hub.  No mention on the web site of London City, Norwich or Southampton airports.
