Air France cuts flights

    NAIROBI

    Air France has announced that it will be cutting its flights to Djibouti with effect from the end of October, AFP reported on Thursday. Air France currently operates three flights a week from Paris to its former colony on the southern tip of the Red Sea, but, according to the airline's agent in Djibouti, it will now operate only one flight per week. No reason was given for the decision, which is certain to have a harmful effect on the Djibouti's economy.
