Air France is bringing back a popular link to Europe from Orlando International Airport (MCO) next summer.
Starting on May 21, 2025, the airline will begin nonstop service between Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris and Orlando International Airport, Air France shared with Travel + Leisure. This marks the first time in over a decade that Air France will operate commercial service on this route, which was last served in 2012.
The flight will leave Orlando at 11 p.m. and arrive in Paris at 1:30 p.m. the next day before taking off from Paris at 5:05 p.m. for an 8:45 p.m. arrival in Orlando that same day. Air France will operate this route four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, subject to government approval.
“This new route highlights our commitment to strengthening connections between North America and France,” said Air France-KLM’s vice president of commercial, Boaz Hulsman, in a statement shared with T+L. “We look forward to providing passengers from Florida a seamless, direct journey to Paris, or beyond, where they can enjoy the French elegance and award-winning service that Air France is known for.”
Air France will use its Airbus A350-900 for this service, configured with 34 business class seats, 24 premium economy seats, and 266 economy seats.
Post-pandemic, Air France has significantly expanded its U.S. route network amid a surge in summer travel to Europe, now serving 18 American cities. The new Orlando flights follow the airline’s recent introduction of nonstop service to Phoenix and increased frequency on its Newark route over the past year.
As one of Florida’s largest airports, Orlando serves as a gateway city with easy connections with SkyTeam partners Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico, which link travelers to an additional 170 destinations.
