Will we one day see German airline Lufthansa carrying its privileged customers on the DS 9 E-Tense? Chances are few, but nevertheless, on the part of Air France, we chose the German premium class for VIP shuttles.

Indeed, from 1^Er In June, the company offers its customers “La Première” and “Business Flying Blue Ultimate” for traveling Porsche brand models.

29 Porsche Cayenne hybrids for the company

In general, Air France will have 29 hybrid Porsche Cayennes with the company logo. They will, in fact, work in “electric” mode and will be distributed between Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Nice-Côte d’Azur airports.

These vehicles will allow customers to travel on the runway in optimal conditions between the airport lounge and the door of their aircraft, during a short connection between two flights or on the airport platform to connect hotels near the terminals.

Why didn’t you choose French cars?

Air France previously offered this service in partnership with Hertz. When contacted by our colleagues at Caradisiac, the company did not necessarily elaborate on why or how it chose this car, particularly compared to French and hybrid models such as the Renault Austral, DS 7 Crossback E-Tense or the aptly named Renault. Rafale recently introduced.

“After tendering from various European car manufacturers, Air France decided to retain the Porsche company, in particular because of its ability to supply a large number of high-end cars.”– reported in the company.

Nevertheless, for the French company, the most logical thing would be to transport your best customers in French carsEspecially since DS, even if the brand is not at the level of Porsche, offers high-class hybrid products. Except for the DS 9, which is made in China, the DS 7 Crossback E-Tense could be a good candidate. DS may not have met all the prerequisites.
