While we emulate the operations of Air France and its Skyteam partners, we are based out of the United States and today is a holiday for those of us based in the United States to be thankful for those that are important in our lives. I wanted to thank all of our pilots and staff for helping us be one of the leading VAs to emulate Air France. Your dedication to this hobby and for those you that I know personally, your friendship. Thank you and I look forward to many more together. Best Regards, Brian Hankey President & CEO, AFVA
