What are the main areas of development for your network?
We are developing it around six major axes: the French-speaking and Spanish-speaking Caribbean, Canada and the Indian Ocean. While the Caribbean remains a predominantly tourist destination, the North American continent is much more in line with a business dynamic, with services to Montreal, Quebec and Halifax. For the past two years, Corsairfly has been developing new routes from major regional cities, with Lyon and Nantes benefiting from a wide choice of destinations on direct flights. Despite the events in Madagascar, we are seeing a surge in interest in the destination. This has led us to schedule three weekly flights, with the resumption of our rotations to Nosy Be on 17 June. One of the flights will be to Mayotte-Dzaoudzi, which we have been serving year-round since 8 May.
Have there been any recent changes to your Grand Large service?
We have completely redesigned our Grand Large class. It has been lightened by several seats, and the armchairs are fitted with a memory foam structure and offer a very comfortable recline. In terms of catering, we offer quality services, both in terms of crockery and plates.
How is traffic to the French West Indies developing?
The Caribbean market is suffering from a decline in visitor numbers. Social unrest and the vagaries of the weather are exacerbating the trend, but we don't believe that the destination is falling out of favour, as we are facing a more global crisis. Although the Caribbean market has fallen by 16 % since the start of the year, we're not giving up and we're putting in place a wide-ranging recovery plan, with numerous fare offers, in collaboration with tourist offices and our TO partners. We are currently offering a Grand Large fare to the French Caribbean at e999 including tax.
