Air France will launch nonstop service between Orlando International Airport and Paris-Charles de Gaulle beginning next May 21, pending government approval. The service marks the airline’s return to Orlando; it ceased operations on the route in 2012. The flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays on Airbus A350-900 aircraft. There will be three cabins: Business, Premium and Economy.
Boaz Hulsman, vice president of commercial, North America, for Air France-KLM, said the route “highlights the carrier’s commitment to strengthening connections between North America and France.” The connection, according to the announcement, will provide access to Air France’s global network, reaching over 170 destinations and providing “seamless” travel options through Sky Team Alliance partners such as Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico.
Kevin Thibault, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, said the partnership with Air France reinforces the airport’s “dedication to expanding global connectivity and creating value for our community.”
Orlando will become Air France’s 18th US destination, joining a network that includes cities from New York to Seattle.
