AIR FRANCE experienced some comings and goings last week, with the departure of genial UK & Ireland general manager, Bernard Anquez (he is off to Atlanta to act as the front line liaison between AF and its Skyteam partner Delta), and the arrival of his replacement, Christine Ourmi”res, who joins from the Paris office where she held the position of VP international sales and marketing. At the reception at the French-owned Sofitel hotel in Pall Mall, Etienne Rachou (right), senior vice president, Air France Europe and North Africa, noted that UK and Ireland was now Air France”s largest market in Europe outside its home country. An indication of changing times was a short speech by Vincent Knoops, general manager UK of KLM, who made a presentation.
