Air France Boosts New York Flights for Summer 2026
Air France is strengthening its New York service for the Summer 2026 schedule by significantly increasing flight options between Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and two major New York area airports — New York-JFK and Newark Liberty International.
Under the expanded programme, the airline will offer up to 11 daily flights linking Paris with New York’s air hubs during the peak summer season. This includes up to six daily Air France flights to JFK, supported by additional services operated by partner Delta Air Lines as part of their transatlantic joint venture, and up to two daily services to Newark, enhancing flexibility for both leisure and business travellers.
From June 1, 2026, the Paris-Newark route will see increased frequency with a second daily flight, deployed with Airbus A350-900 aircraft featuring the airline’s latest cabin upgrades. These include the new Business class seat with a sliding door, also available on flights to and from New York JFK, offering improved comfort for long-haul passengers.
In addition to the regular summer schedule, Air France will operate special nonstop flights between New York-JFK and Nice in June to support the Cannes Lions Festival, providing seasonal leisure connectivity beyond its core Paris-New York services.
The boosted schedule reflects continued demand for transatlantic travel and positions Air France to better serve travellers seeking convenient and frequent connections between France and the United States throughout the busy summer travel season.
