Air France taking off in the summer of 2026

Air France will be operating up to 60 flights per week at the peak of the summer season out of Canada — representing one additional flight compared to summer 2025.

The increased capacity is made possible by the introduction of a fourth weekly frequency between Quebec City and Paris, which will operate from June 18 to Oct. 6.

Weekly flights in peak summer season include Montréal (28). Québec (4). Toronto (14).  Ottawa (7). Vancouver (7).

Globally, Air France’s 2026 summer schedule will see increased capacity on long-haul routes, continued expansion of service to Asia, and a refocusing of domestic operations at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub.

The carrier will operate to close to 170 destinations served across 73 countries and will see its long-haul capacity growing by 2% in summer 2026, driven mainly by North and South America.

Also of note, Air France will:

• Extend the suspension of flights to Tel Aviv, Beirut, Dubai, and Riyadh, and ongoing addition of capacity to Asia due to strong demand in the context of the Middle East crisis, with additional flights and the use of larger aircraft to Bangkok, Singapore, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Tokyo, and Osaka.
• Launch of a new direct route between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Las Vegas starting April 2026. Doubling of flight frequencies to New York-Newark starting June 2026.
• Continue to roll-out of the new La Première suite, now available on flights to and from New York-JFK, Singapore, Los Angeles and Tokyo-Haneda, and coming soon on flights to and from Abidjan and San Francisco.
• Implement its plan to restructure domestic service from Paris, with all Air France flights to Toulouse, Nice, Marseille and French overseas territories departing from Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

Air France is continuing to roll-out its new La Première suite. Currently available on routes between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and New York-JFK, Los Angeles, Miami, Singapore and Tokyo-Haneda, it will be introduced this summer on flights to Abidjan and San Francisco.

The roll-out of free ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi is also continuing across the entire Air France fleet, including regional aircraft. By the end of March 2026, 40% of aircraft will already be equipped, with the aim of extending this service to virtually the entire fleet by the end of 2026.

And this summer, Air France will operate up to 630 daily flights to more than 90 destinations across its short- and medium-haul network.

To better meet seasonal demand, the airline will significantly expand its flight schedule between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and several major European and Mediterranean cities, thereby offering its customers greater choice and flexibility.

The airline will operate up to four daily flights to Dublin and launch a new route to London-Gatwick, with two daily flights. Further south, both Marrakech and Rabat will be served up to four times a day (compared to three previously). Naples will benefit from up to four daily flights, while Seville and Porto will be served twice daily.

As announced in autumn 2023, from summer 2026 onwards, Air France will centralize all its Paris operations at its Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub, with the exception of flights to and from Corsica under the current Public Service Obligation.

Within this framework, services between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Toulouse, Nice and Marseille will be increased, with 12, 12 and 10 daily flights respectively. All flights to French overseas territories – Pointe-à-Pitre, Fort-de-France, Saint-Denis de la Réunion and Cayenne – will also operate from Paris-Charles de Gaulle. This refocusing of operations at Paris-Charles de Gaulle will facilitate international connections and strengthen connectivity between the French regions and overseas territories.

At the same time, Transavia is set to become the Air France-KLM Group’s flagship carrier operating out of Paris-Orly. Starting March 29, 2026, Transavia will launch routes between Paris-Orly and Toulouse, Nice and Marseille, with 8, 8 and 2 daily flights respectively.

Transavia France, the low-cost subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group, will operate 230 routes to 109 destinations in 33 countries this summer, consolidating its position as the leading low-cost carrier on departure from Paris.
