Naphezu kwesibikezelo se-International Air Transport Association (IATA) sokuthi ukuhamba kwezindiza zabagibeli emhlabeni wonke kufanele kubuyele emuva ngamaphesenti angu-3.7 ngo-2010 kanye namaphesenti angu-3 eYurophu, i-Air France-KLM izoqhubeka nokunciphisa amandla enkathi yobusika ezayo.
Inkampani yezindiza ithe inkampani yezindiza isola isimo sezomnotho esinzima kakhulu, ukwehla kwayo kuqhutshwa ukulahlekelwa okuphelele kwezigidi ezingu-426 zama-euro kwikota yokuqala ka-2009-2010 Wezimali. Ngemuva kokumemezela ukuthi ibheke ukwehlisa amandla ayo okusebenza ngabantu abangu-2,700, inkampani yezindiza izoqhubeka nokunciphisa amandla ngamaphesenti amabili.

Uma kuqhathaniswa nesizini yasebusika ka-2007, ukunikezwa kweqembu kwehle ngamaphesenti angu-2.8 ezindizeni ezidonsa isikhathi eside futhi zehle ngamaphesenti angu-6.4 kuthrafikhi yemikhumbi emifushane namaphakathi.
