Just in time for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Air France announced plans for its new U.S. gateway, launching non-stop service between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris in May 2024.
“Adding non-stop service to Paris is a major milestone that demonstrates our commitment to providing convenient and efficient travel options to and from Phoenix,” said Mayor Kate Gallego. “As our city continues to grow and become a destination for booming industries, I’m confident that direct service to Paris will unlock exciting possibilities for exploration and new business opportunities.”

The route takes off May 23, on a Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner, operating three days a week for the summer season. Flights take off Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The Dreamliner will boast a three-class configuration, with 30 business-class seats, 21 in premium economy and 228 economy-class seats. Flights depart Paris at 10:10 a.m., arriving in Phoenix at 12:10 p.m., then depart PHX at 2:10 p.m. for a 9:15 a.m. arrival in Paris the next day.
“Air France is thrilled to announce a direct link between Arizona and Paris with our newest, non-stop route coming in May,” said Boaz Hulsman, vice president of Commercial, North America, Air France-KLM. “Becoming the 22nd North American gateway for Air France next summer season, this new service symbolizes our commitment to enhancing the transatlantic travel connection. We look forward to soon providing passengers from Phoenix with an experience embodying the best of French elegance.”
