2025 marks the fifth anniversary of the joint venture partnership<\/strong> (JV) of Air France and KLM with Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic<\/a><\/strong>. This alliance continues to redefine transatlantic travel with excellent connectivity and enhanced customer benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also means more frequencies and new destinations this summer. The four carriers are thus committed to maintaining fluid connectivity and a high quality of service for business travellers on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, Air France offers the largest ever flight schedule between its CDG hub and North America<\/strong>. 18 destinations<\/strong> are part of the programme, including Orlando <\/a>from May 21. Special non-stop flights will also be operated between Nice and Los Angeles<\/strong> on the occasion of the Cannes Festival<\/a> and the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KLM inaugurates a new route Amsterdam<\/a>-San Diego<\/strong> and is extending its route to Portland<\/a> (Oregon), launched last winter. These flights have connections in Europe with three new destinations: Ljubljana <\/a>(Slovenia), Exeter (UK) and Biarritz.<\/p>\n\n\n

Delta Air Lines<\/a> also offers the largest transatlantic flight schedule in its history<\/strong>. The airline links Europe to key hubs such as New York-JFK, Atlanta, Boston, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Detroit. With new routes departing from Catania (Sicily), Copenhagen, Naples, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Dublin and Brussels, these are more than 700 weekly flights<\/strong>s on sale between the United States and 33 European destinations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally.., Virgin Atlantic has extended its network to Canada<\/strong> this summer. The airline has launched a new daily transatlantic service between Toronto and London Heathrow airport<\/strong>. In addition, it is offering more capacity to New York and Orlando for summer 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A seamless airport experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At airports, the four carriers guarantee efficient and multiple check-in processes (online and self-service) as well as simplified boarding, thus reducing waiting times. For business passengers, they offer lounges at most major airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air France<\/strong> continues to invest in enhancing the airport experience with improvements to its lounge offering. Last year, the company inaugurated its new lounge at Los Angeles<\/a>in the Tom Bradley terminal, with a spa and bistro-style restaurants<\/strong>. At the same time, it has launched a dedicated route and areas for La Premi\u00e8re passengers at CDG. Finally, Air France recently unveiled a completely redesigned lounge in terminal 2E, hall K at Paris-CDG<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KLM has also refurbished its Schengen Crown lounge at Amsterdam-Schiphol<\/strong> with an elegant design, a Dutch-inspired kitchen and a shower area.<\/p>\n\n\n
