Air France is continuing to expand its North American presence with plans to launch a new U.S. route in 2026. The service is scheduled to begin on April 15 and will operate three times weekly from Paris–Charles de Gaulle.

The French flag carrier will connect Paris with Las Vegas, marking its 19th destination in the United States and 26th across North America. Flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays using the airline’s Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

According to Air France, flight AF56 will depart Paris at 1:40 p.m. and arrive in Las Vegas at 3:35 p.m. local time. The return flight, AF57, will leave Las Vegas at 5:50 p.m. and arrive in Paris the following afternoon at 1:05 p.m.
