Air France Announces New York Route

Air France announced two high-profile international routes Tuesday, detailing a second Paris route out of New York as well as plans to resume flights to Iran.

From New York, Air France will begin flying from JFK Airport to Paris Orly in June. Air France already offers several daily round-trip flights between JFK and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, which is the airline’s biggest hub and the busiest in France. Orly is Paris’ second-busiest airport.

Air France said the new JFK-Orly route “enables passengers to easily connect with (the airline’s) domestic network on arrival at Paris-Orly.” The flight will be operated as part of Air France’s joint-venture partnership with Delta.

Air France will fly one daily round-trip flight between JFK and Paris Orly using 309-seat Boeing 777-200 aircraft. The 777s on the route are configured with 35 business-class seats, 24 Premium Economy seats and 250 standard coach seats. The Paris-bound flight will leave JFK at 6:05 p.m. and land at Orly at 7:05 a.m. the next morning, all times local. The return leaves Orly at 11 a.m. and lands at JFK at 1:10 p.m., all times local.
