Air France-KLM expects more than 90% of its capacity to remain suspended through the end of May as the coronavirus pandemic paralyzes the travel industry worldwide.

For the next two months, the airline aims to continue serving only some key city pairs with a “skeleton operation,” according to a statement Thursday. Beyond that time frame, the company said, projections are too difficult to provide.
