The latest two bouts of winter weather which have paralysed airports in the French capital will cost Air France-KLM 25-35 million euros, the airline's chief operating officer said.

"Everything that happened over the weekend represents a total of around 15 to 20 million euros," Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said on Europe 1 radio.
