Air France, EasyJet Square Off in Battle for Marseille

Air France-KLM Group’s plan to regain lost market share on short-haul routes may pitch Europe’s largest carrier into a battle with EasyJet Plc over the Mediterranean seaport of Marseille.

Air France may begin services from the second-largest French city to towns such as Marrakesh and Tangier in Morocco, which Ryanair Holdings Plc will quit in January, Bruno Matheu, the Paris-based company’s network chief, said in an interview.
