Air France-KLM’s French division has suspended flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Madagascar’s capital, Antananarivo, from October 11 to 13 due to the prevailing security situation on the ground.
In a statement issued via email on Sunday, the airline said it was “monitoring the situation in real time with authorities,” adding that the resumption of flights would depend on “a daily assessment of the situation.”
Air France also assured that affected customers would be notified and offered options for rebooking or refunds.
The suspension comes as Madagascar’s presidency announced on Sunday that “an attempted illegal and forcible seizure of power” was underway in the country, following reports that some soldiers had joined a protest movement which began last month.
