Trade Air France-KLM with LHFX

Air France-KLM is one of Europe's largest airline groups, formed by the 2004 merger of Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. The group is headquartered in Paris and listed on Euronext Paris under ticker AF, plus a secondary listing on Euronext Amsterdam under KLM. The combined network operates from two primary hubs (Paris Charles de Gaulle for Air France, Amsterdam Schiphol for KLM) plus a third secondary hub at Paris Orly, and includes low-cost subsidiary Transavia. 2024 group revenue was near 31 billion euros with operating result around 1.6 billion euros, well below the 3+ billion euro target the group had guided. Passenger transport contributes around 84% of revenue, cargo around 8%, maintenance (third-party MRO services) around 5%, and Transavia plus other activities the remainder. The group reported 2024 unit cost per available seat kilometre (CASK ex-fuel) above pre-Covid levels on labour-driven pay settlements and on the SkyTeam Paris 2024 Olympic-period staffing premiums. Geographic revenue mix is around 49% Europe (Air France domestic plus Schengen plus UK), 26% Americas (transatlantic is the most profitable single corridor), 14% Asia-Pacific (with mainland China and Japan as the largest sub-markets), 8% Africa and Middle East, and the remainder elsewhere. The French government holds around 28% of Air France-KLM shares, and the Dutch government around 9%. At LHFX you trade Air France-KLM as a CFD on AIRF.PA, not as a shareholder. You profit or lose based on the Euronext Paris-quoted EUR price moving in or against your position, and you can go long or short. You never receive the underlying share, voting rights, or cash dividends, but your account is credited or debited a dividend adjustment when AIRF.PA trades ex-dividend so economic exposure stays equivalent. Air France-KLM suspended dividends through the post-Covid recovery and had not resumed regular cash dividends as of 2024 reporting. Maximum leverage is 1:20 and trading hours follow Euronext Paris, roughly 03:00 to 11:30 ET, Monday to Friday.

Open an LHFX account, fund it (minimum 10 USD), and add AIRF.PA to your MetaTrader 5 Market Watch. The symbol is denominated in EUR; P&L converts to your account base currency at end of day. Spreads on AIRF.PA are raw, with a flat 3 USD per side commission. Maximum leverage is 1:20, so a 1,000 EUR position requires 50 EUR of margin. Worked example. With Air France-KLM quoted around 9 EUR, opening 50 share equivalents of long AIRF.PA at 1:20 leverage requires roughly 22.50 EUR in margin (450 / 20). A 5% adverse move costs 22.50 EUR, which is 100% of the margin posted. Scale to 200 share equivalents and you are at 90 EUR margin against a 90 EUR loss on a 5% drop. AIRF.PA typically trades in a 2 to 3% daily range, with strike-day or jet-fuel-spike moves of 5 to 8% common. Set a stop loss before entry. The biggest single-session catalysts are quarterly earnings, monthly IATA traffic data, French and Dutch labour-negotiation outcomes, and crude oil spikes. Government-stake actions (sales or political comments) produce smaller but binary moves on announcement days. Euronext Paris closes at 11:30 ET. Overnight swap is charged on notional exposure and updates inside MT5 symbol specifications.
