Earlier this week, I wrote about Air France adding its 16th US destination (Raleigh) this winter (more here). The French carrier will actually fly to 22 destinations across North America, which represents 222 weekly flights.
Its joint venture with Delta Air Lines will provide plenty of opportunities to serve smaller markets and four nonstop flights to Canadian destinations should apply some pressure to Air Canada.
Here is the full list served this winter from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG):
- Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
- Cancun International Airport (CUN)
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
- Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)
- George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juarez (MEX)
- Miami International Airport (MIA)
- Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)
- Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL)
- Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
- New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
- Ottawa International Airport (YOW)
- Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)
- Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
- Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
- Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
- Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
- Dulles International Airport (IAD)
North America is clearly an important market to Air France and one that will directly connect lots of cities to Paris this winter.
Anthony’s Take: Air France will offer nonstop service to 16 cities in the US, 4 in Canada, as well as Cancun and Mexico City this winter. This will provide easy travel between Paris and tons of cities in North America.

….and to think that in the past generation, Air France flew to just 4 cities in the continental U.S. They were JFK, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Houston (on a CDG-IAH-MEX routing with traffic rights between IAH and MEX) using mostly 747-200 and a daily Concorde flight. (Concorde service to IAD on AF was short lived).
No more CDG-CUN?
Good catch. I just updated the article to reflect Cancun. Thanks!
