French bee is adding two new Indian Ocean destinations to its network, launching flights to Malé and Colombo from Paris–Orly starting 19 December 2026.
The new services will operate seasonally until 2 May 2027 and are designed as flexible triangular routes linking Paris, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka, with a mix of direct and combined segments depending on the period of travel demand.
Initially, French bee will operate two weekly triangular flights, before adjusting frequencies throughout the season, including dedicated direct Paris–Colombo services and combined itineraries connecting both destinations on a single rotation.
Ticket sales are open, with introductory fares starting from €599 return in economy class for Colombo and €649 for Malé, alongside premium cabin options.
According to the airline, the expansion reflects a strategy to diversify its long-haul leisure network and tap into growing demand for beach tourism in the Maldives and cultural and wellness travel in Sri Lanka, while improving accessibility to destinations that remain underserved from France.
