Air France-KLM: "January and February unit revenues have been affected by the overcapacity situation created by the increase in offer by our competitors during the Winter season. In this context, we maintain an objective of a positive operating result for full-year 2010/11, but it will be below our previous target of over EUR300 million," Company statement.
