Air France will consider deploying the A380 in India "when the airport infrastructure at the Mumbai and Delhi airports supports the aircraft," which also would require a renegotiation of AF's rights with the Indian government, Senior VP-International Jean-Louis Pinson told Indian media last week, the Business Standard reported. AF has 12 A380s on firm order and currently serves Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai. "We want Air France to be a preferred European airline for the Indian passenger and we are looking at a long-term investment in this market as the market has strong growth potential," Pinson said, adding that the carrier plans to codeshare with either Jet Airways or Kingfisher Airlines.
