Air France-KLM Group, Europe's biggest airline, said third-quarter profit tripled on increased Asian and North American traffic and higher ticket prices. The airline confirmed its full-year outlook for ``strong'' results.
Net income for the three months ended Dec. 31 increased to 229 million euros ($298 million), or 79 cents a share, from 77 million euros, or 28 cents, a year earlier, beating analyst estimates of 149 million euros. Revenue rose 5.9 percent to 5.75 billion euros, the Paris-based company said today in a statement.
