Air France will bring two new U.S. cities into its North American network next year.
The carrier said Thursday that it will serve Nashville, Tennessee, and San Diego from Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Air France said it will be the only airline in the world offering nonstop flights from Paris to Nashville and San Diego, as well as the only airline to serve Nashville from continental Europe.
Service to San Diego will start first, on May 3, 2027. Flights will operate three times weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
On May 14, service to Nashville will commence. Flights will operate three times per week on the same days – Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
As a tribute to the late country music star Dolly Parton, the flight to Nashville will carry the flight number AF046, a nod to 1946, the year Parton was born.
Both connections will operate using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
Tickets will become available for purchase on Oct. 14.
With Nashville and San Diego coming online, Air France plans to serve 20 U.S. destinations in the summer of 2027.
