REGIONAL AVIATION Brit Air's SO and 10 -seat CRJfleet will be central to the airline's route-development strategy able for 50- to 70-seaters. Leclerc promises, however, that Air France ".. .will not be taking a stake in my airline". Some note, however, that the decision to strengthen the relationship with the national carrier came after Leclerc had expressed publicly the intention to reduce, rather than increase, contacts with Air France. Regional Airlines' Dubreuil says that he is committed to "multiple links", to avoid depen dence on any one major. The airline already has longstanding partnerships with Iberia and Air France, and from April, began operating the former KLM-operated Marseille and Amsterdam SAS-operated Lyon-Copenhagen routes, as well as Swissair's Toulouse-Zurich and Stuttgart-Geneva services. AIR FRANCE LINKS Links with Air France Europe will be rein forced, with a second aircraft joining the first to operate Nantes-Lyon and/or Toulouse-Lyon. Today, Regional Airlines operates more than 170 daily flights to 17 metropolitan destinations and ten European capitals. Air Littoral operates 41 national routes (39 transverse and two radial) and nine direct inter national routes under its own colours, while its links with Air France, to operate freight ser vices, yield a further 29 destinations. Dufour admits that Air Littoral is "a bit late" in cement ing ties with other majors. "We're looking at several European airlines," he says, adding that he took seriously a recent comment by British Airways that".. .the conquest of Europe will be donebyregionals".
