Air France has hit the headlines yet again, with the news that six arrests have been made over the theft of gold worth €1.6 million from an aircraft on the tarmac at Charles de Galle airport. A Swissport worker is among those being questioned by police. It follows news that earlier this month 31 suitcases were placed on an Air France fight from Caracas containing 1.3 tons of cocaine.
