“We are delighted to add three weekly nonstop Air France flights between Manila and Paris-Charles de Gaulle, complementing KLM’s four weekly flights from Manila to Amsterdam offering a daily service,” says Femke Kroese, general manager, Air France KLM South East Asia and Oceania. “This will allow our customers from Manila to benefit from our strong network in Europe and beyond.”
