French term

Desserte parisienne

"Desserte parisienne par AIR France : 264 847 passagers"
This is a line in a list of statistics for air traffic - I'm guessing something like "Air France Paris Services"

Discussion

Kevin LOVELADY (asker) Feb 22, 2006:
hi - sorry for the delay in replying. the figures are for traffic between paris and another french city.
David Sirett Feb 21, 2006:
Is this figure for a service to Paris from another city?
Sandra Petch Feb 21, 2006:
Is this per week? per month? Patricia is right that it's a small number. Couldn't find info on the corporate site but did find this: "In 1999 the national carrier (AF) handled 28 million passengers at its home airport (CDG). Hope it helps.

Air France has a lot of services. They are not all flights.
To avoid any misunderstanding, it is better to use the word flights.

Passengers to Paris traveling by Air France

No it is not "Air France Paris Services", it's the number of passengers transported to Paris.
Is it about Air service or the bus service from downtown to airport?

Air France service to Paris

the key being servicE and not serviceS
Peer comment(s):

agree Odette Grille (X) : Yes, because as far as we know it could be the number of passengers going to Paris in Air France buses after landing

merci Odette!
agree Charlie Bavington : Air France Paris service. That's all it says. It says nothing about whether it's flights, buses or bicycles-made-for-two. That is a question of the wider context, which we don't have.

agree Sandra Petch : ...with everyone; Sylvia's suggestions gets nicely round the lack of context.
