0823 GMT - Air France-KLM issued encouraging forecasts for 2026, including unit cost growth of at most 2% and capacity growth between 3% and 5% on year, Bernstein analysts say in a note. Capacity in long-haul flights is expected to rise 4%, which is good news because that's where the money is made, the analysts say. The group looks to be getting unit cost under control after a strong performance in the fourth quarter, they add. Shares in the Paris-listed carrier group are up 11% at 12.90 euros.
