By the way - is Hop! fo Air France intended to be an LCC like the new Germanwings? From what I have read and heard so far it's more like streamlining the Air France regional branches and modelling them according to the KLM Cityhopper concept.
Air Inter was just a French domestic airline and as far as I know domestic only, hence the "Inter" titles. It was later merged with Air France (both of them being government owned).http://www.MD-80.com / MD-80.com on facebook https://www.facebook.com/MD80com / MD-80.com on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MD80com

I don't know the route, it's in their statement (55€) I meant its not cheap but also not expensive (sorry, auto-correct) but, as we all may know, RYR fares aren't always cheap eitherplease take a look at my website: www.bae-atp.webs.com

These days, all airline prices are "from" prices, so what you will pay in the end depends very much on the demand for the particular flight you would like to book.
As for Hop! for Air France, with the info given so far, they will not follow Lufthansa's idea of "Lufthansa light in Germanwings wrappings" but will just consolidate their regional operations according to the Cityhopper concept.
More information here:
"Air France revealed the name and commercial offering of its new regional airline, HOP!
http://corporate.airfrance.com/en/pr...s-new-airline/"
This is quite obviously not an LCC but a new brand of regional airline.Last edited by Peter Kesternich; 2013-01-30, 17:55.

I think for the general public it should be obvious that the aircraft does a "hop" for Air France, not the passengers. Also bear in mind that for the majority of the potential "Hop for Air France" customers English isn't the first language, so many nuances or possible interpretations are lost to them. (Germany is especially notorious for picking up only seemingly English phrases and slogans.)

On a side note, I think that the vast majority of the general public don't really care or are even genuinely unaware of what aircraft or even airline they travel on. The community here on the jetphotos.net forums is definitely NO indication at all of how the general public perceives the image of an airline or aircraft

Originally posted by AA 1818 View PostI do as well. After seeing it, I understand the concept well. "Hop for Air France" on the fuselage is quite interesting - if you are in an area that does not command a main-line AF service, you hop onto 'Hop!' to get to one. To be honest, the multiple carriers operated under the AF Reigonal brand was getting messy. Behind the scenes, each airline rivaled their siblings, with different pay scales, different crew lists et al. It's a smooth move, by AF, that will likely lower costs for them, under one larger company. Ideally, consolidation will allow another company to enter, and bring costs down for consumers - keeping Hop lean.
