Starting on May 21st, 2025, the airline will begin non-stop service between the Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG) in Paris and the Orlando International Airport (MCO), Air France announced. This will be the first time in over a decade that Air France will operate this route, which was last served in 2012.
The flight will depart Orlando at 11 p.m. and arrive in Paris at 1:30 p.m. the next day. The return flight will leave Paris at 5:05 p.m. and arrive in Orlando at 8:45 p.m. the same day. Air France will operate this route 4 times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, subject to government approval.
Here's what Boaz Hulsman, Air France-KLM's vice president of commercial, said about it:
"This new route shows our commitment to strengthening connections between North America and France. We're excited to provide passengers from Florida a smooth, direct journey to Paris, or beyond, where they can enjoy the French elegance and award-winning service that Air France is known for."

Air France will use its Airbus A350-900 for this service, which has 34 business-class seats, 24 premium economy seats, and 266 economy seats.
After the pandemic, Air France has greatly increased its flights to the United States as more people travel to Europe in the summer. The airline now flies to 18 American cities. The new Orlando flights come after Air France started non-stop service to Phoenix and increased flights to Newark in the past year.
Orlando is one of Florida's biggest airports and serves as a gateway city. Travelers can easily connect to an additional 170 destinations through Air France's SkyTeam partners Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico.
