As the world prepares for the 2024 Summer Olympics from Paris between July 26 and August 11, Air France is expanding service to the United States and North America to support the increased demand.

Air France is a partner for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As a result, the carrier will expand long-haul international capacity by nine percent and expand flights to 85 destinations in total.

In North America, Air France will resume once-daily service to Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is inaugurating a new direct service between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Phoenix, Arizona, three times a week aboard a Boeing 787-9.

The French airline is also extending the direct service to Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, which it inaugurated in winter 2023, and upping the number of weekly flights to seven from three during the winter season.

In addition, Air France revealed that it would add two special flights between Los Angeles, California, and Nice, France, on Airbus A350-900s for the Cannes Film Festival. The flights will offer the carrier¡¯s latest overhauled long-haul cabins.

The airline is scheduled to fly over 210 times weekly flights to the U.S. this summer, serving 17 destinations: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York JFK, New York Newark, Phoenix, Raleigh Durham, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington.

For travelers north of the border, Air France will operate close to 60 flights to five Canadian cities: Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver.
