Joon confusing: AF

AIR France-KLM has confirmed the closure of its low-cost offshoot Joon, with the airline’s planes and staff to be absorbed into the Air France parent carrier.

The company said the Joon brand had been “difficult to understand from the outset for customers, employees, markets and investors,” offering a hybrid model with high service levels and modern branding but using externally recruited cabin crew.

Joon was launched just over a year ago (TD 26 Sep 2017) by former AF CEO Jean-Marc Janaiilac.
