Air France suspends direct flights

Air France will suspend direct non-stop flights from Paris to Vietnam for six months, beginning March 26, in order to concentrate on more lucrative flights to China and Japan, an official said today. During this period, Air France will operate four flights a week from Paris to Ho Chi Minh City, and three to Hanoi, with a stop-over in Bangkok. (Agence France Presse, Feb. 17).
