The Airbus A350 is the new jewel in Air France’s long-haul fleet. With CO2 emissions reduced by 25% compared with previous-generation aircraft, it is a powerful way of reducing the airline’s environmental footprint. Its noise footprint is also reduced by 40%.

Throughout the summer season (from March to October), Air France will operate up to 26 weekly flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Los Angeles.

Air France will also operate 4 special flights between New York JFK and Nice on the occasion of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, taking place between June 19 and 23, 2023.
