"Currently Charles de Gaulle International Airport is open,
however, we are holding our remaining departures this evening to
Paris until we have additional information," American Airlines
spokesman Joshua Freed said.
United Continental Holdings <UAL.N> said its three scheduled
flights would still depart for Paris on Friday evening from hubs
in Chicago, Newark and Washington, D.C. "We're operating our
schedule as planned," spokesman Charles Hobart said.
A Delta Air Lines Inc <DAL.N> spokesman said that its flights
were operating normally between the United States and Charles de
Gaulle. He said Delta was in touch with its partners, Air France
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and was "not aware of any changes to
their operations."
A spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said the
agency was "following the situation closely and remains in close
contact with our security and law enforcement partners."
"The agency is prepared to act quickly in the event action is
warranted," she said.
The French foreign ministry said airports would remain open, and
flights and train service would continue.
