The airline group said it would be introducing a Distribution Surcharge for GDS sales from April 1, 2018, but it has not revealed how much the charge will be.
Air France-KLM said it was making the move to “adapt to market circumstances and to further improve its efficiency”. The surcharge will not apply to agency sales made through NDC (New Distribution Capability) connections or via the airlines’ direct channels.
The airline group made the announcement as it unveiled third quarter results, which showed a 23.6% increase in operating profit to €1.07 billion for the first nine months of the year.
