Air France has announced the return of its seasonal service between Paris and Cape Town with the introduction of three weekly flights from October 7. An additional flight is scheduled to be added from November – just in time for the end-of-year holiday season.
In a press statement, the airline said the flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Cape Town International were launched in response to strong demand from business and leisure travellers.
The Boeing Dreamliner 787-900 flights will operate on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The service adds to Air France’s existing daily flights between Paris and Johannesburg.
"We are thrilled to bring back our seasonal Paris-Cape Town service, providing South African travellers with more flexibility and convenience, especially as the holiday season approaches,” said Wilson Tauro, Country Manager: Southern Africa at Air France-KLM. “The direct connection between Cape Town and Paris not only enhances travel opportunities but also strengthens the bond between South Africa and France, allowing travellers to experience the best both countries have to offer."
