Would someone more knowledgable than me be able to explain the commercial rationale for an AF codeshare on SEN-CFR + SEN-RNS ?
Neither airport is a hub for the AF group and the attractiveness of using either airport for connections to Lyon, Marseille or Toulouse is presumably limited given that the 3 cities already have strong nonstop air connection to London's other airports. I'm not sure either why there is a need for AF's marketing against BE's existing reach given the largely non-connecting nature of these routes.

Just genuinely puzzled...
