Euro Cup is a football championship, organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). It was held in France from the 10th of June to the 10th of July, 2016. It was the third time that the country received the opportunity to host the tournament after 1960 and 1984. During the event, contested by 24 teams, Air France, the national airline of the host nation, brought out numerous offers like for many other major tournaments in the past.

Information about the Airline

Introduced on 7th October 1933, it was one of the few airlines that were founded before World War II. After the war, it expanded its network and fleet rapidly, and by 1945, it had 130 jetliners. The acquisition of a de Havilland Comet in 1953 marked its transition into the jet age. On 21st January, 1976, the French national airline made history by flying its inaugural Concorde between Paris and Rio. It entered into a partnership with Delta Air Lines in 1999, which would go on to become SkyTeam a year later, and in 2003, it merged with KLM, the flag carrier of The Netherlands.

The headquarters of the air service provider is located in the Roissypôle complex within Charles de Gaulle Airport, which also serves as its major hub. Air France has been the official partner of the Cannes Film Festival since 1980. It has 350 aircraft, including 101 that are operated by its regional subsidiaries.
