Air France is strengthening its New York offering for summer 2026, with up to 11 daily flights between Paris–Charles de Gaulle and the New York metropolitan area, operated jointly with partner Delta Air Lines.
The expanded schedule will include services to both New York-JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport, reinforcing one of the airline’s most important long-haul markets.
More flights to Newark
From 1 June to October 2026, Air France will increase capacity on the Paris–Newark route from one to up to two daily flights. Services will be operated by Airbus A350-900 aircraft featuring the airline’s latest cabin products, including the new Business Class seat with sliding door, also available on all Air France flights to New York-JFK.
The additional frequency is designed to offer greater flexibility for both business and leisure travellers, with a balanced daytime and evening departure schedule in each direction.
Strong JFK presence
On the Paris–JFK route, Air France will operate up to six daily flights, four of them with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft equipped with the carrier’s La Première first class. These services are complemented by three daily Delta Air Lines flights under the transatlantic joint venture.
Connectivity and onboard upgrades
Aircraft serving New York are gradually being equipped with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi powered by Starlink, making Air France the first major European airline to roll out the service. The airline aims to offer Starlink connectivity across its entire fleet by the end of the year.
Special Cannes Lions flights
Air France will also operate special nonstop flights between New York-JFK and Nice in June 2026 for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The services will be flown on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, supplementing the daily Delta Air Lines JFK–Nice service marketed under a codeshare agreement.
With these enhancements, Air France continues to reinforce its transatlantic leadership while combining premium onboard products with increased schedule flexibility for the busy summer season.
