French flag carrier Air France is set on conducting all planned flights despite the state of emergency declared in France after the Paris terrorist attacks.

PARIS (Sputnik) – The Friday attacks in the French capital occurred at different locations, including Bataclan concert hall and the Stade de France stadium.

The Italian TV channel Sky Tg24 reported quoting an alleged Islamic State statement that the attacks were the radical group’s revenge for anti-IS efforts in Syria.

According to the latest TV reports, eight terrorists were killed in the Friday attacks; most of them died after detonating explosive-laden belts.

"We confirm that all of our upcoming flights from/to France are maintained following the events that occurred in Paris area this November 13," Air France said in a Saturday statement, at the same time warning of delays due to reinforced border controls.

The carrier is offering free flight changes to passengers who are not willing to travel on November 13-15.

"You may postpone your trip until November 22, 2015 included, at no extra cost in the same ticketed cabin," Air France said, adding that to "postpone your trip beyond November 22, 2015, to change your origin or destination or if you no longer wish to travel, you can benefit of non-refundable voucher valid one year on Air France or KLM or Hop."
