According to a report by Journal de l’Aviation, the French flag carrier Air France has begun retiring its Airbus A330-200 fleet. This summer, the airline operated 15 examples to several destinations. Today, only 11 remain, with one more undergoing retirement preparations. The aircraft are primarily used for flights to Africa, an important axis of the carriers overall operation that also takes advantage of transatlantic connections, for instance.
