Air France is adding San Diego and Nashville to its network from Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG) in May 2027, with both routes scheduled to operate three times a week during the Northern Summer season.

The services are planned to run from May until late October 2027. They will be operated with Airbus A350-900 aircraft in a three-cabin configuration, extending the French carrier’s US network to 20 destinations. The United States is Air France’s largest market in the Americas.

Two new US routes from Paris

The first new service will be the Paris–San Diego route, beginning on 3 May 2027. Flights are scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Nashville service will follow on 14 May 2027, also operating on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
