All may not be well, yet, with Air France and its security situation on flights leaving the U.S. for Paris.

At least a couple of Air France flights from both L.A. and New York to Paris were scuttled yesterday, according to the airline's online flight information.:

Airport : New York, John F Kennedy (JFK) - USA
terminal 1 Paris, Charles de Gaulle (CDG) - France
terminal 2E

Scheduled departure time : 8:05 PM, December 28, 2003 8:50 AM, December 29, 2003

<rescheduled :
4:30 PM, December 29, 2003
5:25 AM, December 30, 2003
Comments : New AF flight number AF007A.

And this flight:

Airport : Los Angeles, Los Angeles Int. (LAX) - USA terminal 5 Paris, Charles de Gaulle (CDG) - France terminal 2E

Scheduled departure time : 7:20 PM, December 28, 2003 3:00 PM, December 29, 2003

Comments : Flight AF069 has been delayed as a safety precaution.

There still has not been much in the way of official comment from U.S. Homeland Security officials specific to the Air France threat. And there has been little or no explanation given publicly yet for the latest flight disruptions - including the New York flight. (Although another JFK-Paris Air France flight took off last night after AF007 was halted.)

This could be a case study in how, once the government raises the terror warning to "High," it should kick in an information-sharing mechanism with the public that both protects investigations and efforts to stop attacks, while giving as many specifics as possible about what's happening.

Right now, Americans can get their information on this either from unnamed U.S. officials in news reports, or named French officials. In both cases, straight answers have been lacking.

UPDATE: The Local ABC affiliate in New York is reporting that Air France scuttled the New York-Paris flight due to "security concerns," and that the airline is warning of significant delays otherwise.
