New BizJet service from ... Air France ?!

Continuing a proud French tradition of adopting names with unfortunate connotations in the English language, AF delivered a posse of journalists to Châteauroux via their new biz-jet partners, Wijet (to view the new, locally-made, 1st class seats).

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but I find it hard to understand why a company that presents itself as offering a high-quality, professional service to premium clients thinks it can get away with a shoddy in-house translation.

An experimented investors and complementary board
...
A small team integrates better human factor and control difficulties.


But then our local tourism agency would point out that that is another proud French tradition.

CelticRambler: You need to edit the link. Although when I got to the site, the video wouldn't play. So it looks good to go.

From a small article in our local newspaper Contrat du siècle pour Zodiac-Issoudun

"Vingt journalistes parisiens ont posé les pieds sur le tarmac de l'aéroport de Châteauroux, hier matin, à l'invitation d'Air France. Ils étaient partis de l'aéroport du Bourget, quelques minutes auparavant, à bord de jets privés de la compagnie Wijet. La première compagnie de taxi-jet en France n'avait pas été choisie par hasard par Air France.

Un partenariat sera prochainement signé entre les deux compagnies. Mais ce n'était pas le but du voyage de presse auquel La Nouvelle République n'a pas été convié."


Sorry for the delayed response - been on a French hamsterwheel

Ah yes,

Châteauroux, the distribution site of the Exocet Missile notorious for killing, or injuring, many a British national during the 1982 conflict with Argentina and delivered to the Argentinian military, via S. Africa, c/o Cargolux.

Yep, Air France really know how to turn it on
