NEW YORK – November 6, 2006 – On Friday, November 3rd, Air France was awarded the Legacy of Flight Award by the Committee for Dulles. The award was presented at the committee’s 40th anniversary black-tie gala held at the Washington Dulles Airport Hilton. The Committee for Dulles recognized Air France for its 60 years of service to the United States and for its contribution to the success of the Washington Dulles International Airport for more than 40 years.
“We are honored to receive the Legacy of Flight Award. For more than 40 years, the Washington metropolitan area has been an integral part of our U.S. operations market. We look forward to finding more ways to better serve the community throughout the next 40 years,” said Marie-Joseph Malé, vice president and general manager, Air France U.S.A.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to recognize the unique role Air France has played in the growth of Trans-Atlantic air travel since the Second World War. This year Air France marks its 60th anniversary of scheduled air service between the United States and France. Not only has Air France been flying to the U.S. since 1946, but it is one of the longest-serving international carriers at Dulles having commenced operations in 1964. Consequently, Air France was an obvious choice as this year’s recipient of the Dulles Legacy of Flight Award which honors long-standing contributions to the success of Dulles Airport,” said Jeffrey Fairfield, president, Committee for Dulles.
