Air France, in partnership with Delta Air Lines, is expanding its summer 2026 offerings between Paris–Charles de Gaulle and the New York metropolitan area. The increased schedule will include up to 11 daily flights, serving both New York-JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport.
Greater Frequency to Newark
Starting from June to October 2026, Air France will boost capacity on the Paris–Newark route from one to up to two daily flights. Flights will be operated by Airbus A350-900 aircraft, featuring the airline’s latest cabin products, including the new Business Class seat with a sliding door, which is also available on all flights to New York-JFK. This added frequency aims to provide more flexibility for both business and leisure travelers, with a balanced daytime and evening departure schedule in each direction.
Strong Presence at JFK
On the Paris–JFK route, Air France will operate up to six daily flights, four of which will be on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft equipped with the carrier’s La Première first class. These services are complemented by three daily flights from Delta Air Lines, under the transatlantic joint venture.
Improved Connectivity and Upgraded Onboard Experience
To offer better connectivity and onboard experience, Air France is gradually equipping aircraft serving New York with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi powered by Starlink, making it the first major European airline to offer this service. The airline aims to provide Starlink connectivity across its entire fleet by the end of the year.
Special Flights for Cannes Lions Festival
In June 2026, Air France will also operate special nonstop flights between New York-JFK and Nice for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. These flights will be operated on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, in addition to the daily JFK-Nice service by Delta Air Lines, marketed under a codeshare agreement.
Continued Transatlantic Leadership
With these enhancements, Air France remains committed to reinforcing its transatlantic leadership while providing premium onboard products and increased schedule flexibility for the busy summer season.
