An aviation enthusiast since childhood, I follow the evolution of air transport worldwide with great interest. Through Uspassengers.com, I focus on analyzing the latest news from American airlines and all carriers operating to and from the United States: new routes, fleet renewals, inter-company agreements, airport developments, and more.
Air France has unveiled two new additions to its summer 2027 schedule. Starting next May, the French flag carrier will connect Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Nashville and San Diego for the first time. It will be the only airline in the world to offer non-stop flights between Paris and these two cities, and the only one serving Nashville from continental Europe.
Flights to San Diego will begin on May 3, followed by Nashville on May 14. Both routes will operate three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
