Air France

The European cultural Season can contribute to showing that Europe is not just an economic space, a major market, but is also a community of peoples united, going beyond their diversity, by common cultural references. On our continent, exchanges cannot be limited to the material sphere, but must include all aspects of creativity and of intellectual life. That is what can more amply nourish European cohesion in the face-off between the European Union and the world's other major regions.

Why have you decided to support this event?
By definition Air France is a French business, and by united its destiny with KLM's, four years ago, it created the leading European air transport group. It has been demonstrated since that time that this original kind of merger, respecting both companies' identity, is a success. Thus it is quite natural for Air France to support an approach associating Europe's cultural unity and diversity.

More generally, what kinds of support is your company providing for cultural activities?
Air France has always supported creation and culture, by way of partnerships with museums, theatres, stages and festivals, in a very broad spectrum ranging from the cinema, in Cannes, to jazz, in Marciac, or opera, as in Aix-en-Provence.
