Carla Bruni angers Air France staff over free flight to New York...

CARLA BRUNI is not flavour of the month with Air France employees after the supermodel-turned-singer took a free flight to New York to promote her latest album.

The 45-year-old Italian-born Bruni has kept a low profile since her husband, Nicolas Sarkozy, failed last year to win a second term as President of France.

Instead, she has concentrated on her music career and on 23 June jetted to New York to promote her fourth album, Little French Songs, which she describes as "folk music with a little pop".

Bruni flew to the Big Apple for free on Air France, which is partly state-owned. She is entitled to do so as a member of a former French president's family.

But according to France24, the freebie has infuriated airline workers at a time when they are facing mass redundancies amid plummeting profits. In May, Air France-KLM revealed it had lost €630 million in the January-March quarter, compared to a loss of €379 million a year previously. Full story...
