Air France has launched non-stop flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Vancouver International Airport.

The five-weekly flights are operated by Boeing 777-200 equipped with 309 seats – 35 in Business, 24 in Premium Economy and 250 in Economy.

From 13 July 2015, one of these flights will be operated by a Boeing 777-200 equipped with the Company's new Best&Beyond cabins.

"Bienvenue Air France! British Columbians have been asking for direct service to Paris for some time and we are very excited to welcome Air France to YVR," said Craig Richmond, President and CEO, Vancouver Airport Authority. "This new service creates opportunities for business, tourism and trade and strengthens our already strong air access ties with Europe."

Air France now serves Canada with:

Paris – Montreal: 21 weekly flights;

Paris – Vancouver: 5 weekly flights.

Air France-KLM has also signed a partnership with the Canadian airline WestJet to offer new connecting opportunities in North America, i.e. an additional 20 cities served by WestJet, on departure from 5 Canadian destinations served by the Group.
