Air France-KLM expecting return to profit 

Over a million fewer travellers arrived and departed from Ireland last month compared to September 2019

Air France-KLM is eyeing a remarkable recovery to full-year profitability after having to be bailed out.

Air France-KLM expects a return to profitability for the full year and is adding transatlantic seats as an easing of travel rules revives prospects for the struggling carrier.

The airline group reported positive free cash flow in the third quarter and said it is offering 70% to 75% of 2019 network capacity during the final three months of the year. That will exceed the 66% achieved in the July-to-September period.
