Sam comme souvent jusqu'a present, ni tu lis ce qui est ecrit ni tu ecoutes ce qui est dit.
I am a student in England studying A Level French. I have been tasked to make a presentation about anything to do with France that must last for 10 minutes
Le gars doit faire un expose sur l'Aviation en France. Compris ?

Interestingly enough the second largest carrier in France, is Easyjet. The aviation market is still quite traditional, very much because the way we do business is not as open to all as in other part of the world (or Europe). Successful airlines exist but their lifespan and their expansion tend to be restricted by how much competition they generate in the face of AF.
As for our travelling habits, the main difference with the UK is in our geography. I won't go as far as saying that we are at the centre of the world
but our country is surrounded by some very interesting one and our roads, rail connection are pretty good.
Hence often, people chose to drive a few hours to find themselves in a foreign place rather than waste a long wait in an airport terminal. Basically when it comes to go away for a week end or longer, we have other options available.
Saying that, I believe the French really enjoy a winter holiday in the sun it is possible that we are more enclined to travel further when we travel by air.
All that not very scientific I am afraid, only my perspective. No doubt google will return better results than that.
