Following the presentation by Alsthom of the next generation of TGV-High speed train called AGV (Automotrice Grande Vitesse), Air France-KLM is said to be interested in acquiring/leasing 4 for them to start high speed train services between CDG Airport and AMS Schipol via BRU, starting 2010.
In 2010, the monopoly of the French National Railways Company (SNCF) on international services will end (and in 2017 for Domestic services).
Those trains would wear the Air France livery and could be leased and operated via a subsidiary company.
At the average speed of 360 km/h, the journey between Schipol and CDG would take 1h30.
The special high speed tracks are already operational to BRU and the last portion to AMS will be opened by the end of this year.
