Good to see the Europeans coming back out. If KLM made a come back, it would add some colour to ours shores as well.What ever happened to UTA? Did AIr France swallow them up as well?

Not sure why QF's Paris aspiration is mentioned.
I've previously read reports that Qantas would return to Paris if they can get rights to operate a daily service.

Not only UTA, but AOM and Air France operated services to Paris from Sydney.

Air France absorbed UTA and Air Inter during the early 90s restructure, I think

Volcano erupts on Reunion. Hopefully doesn't change any start up plans. Shouldn't if start up is April next year though.

AirCalin is codesharing with Air Austral on NOU-SYD. Local traffic right can only be booked by using "SB" code not "UU"

I wonder how the Air Calin codeshare with Austral will affect the QANTAS codeshare with Air Calin which clashes with QANTAS' Saturday inbound service to Sydney.

Also, will Air Calin continue to operate their own services to Sydney on Tuesday and Friday?

So far it doesn't affect its codeshare agreement with QANTAS

AirCalin is basically offering "extra" flights by codesharing with UU

It is direct, direct via Reunion

Your right it's a blatant lie but the public will end up booking anyway if the prices are cheap enough.
