Raleigh-Durham, NC – Air France has announced a significant expansion of its service between Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG) and Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). Beginning in May, the airline will increase its flight frequency from four times a week to a daily, year-round service.

This change will increase the seating capacity to 328 passengers per flight, offering a substantial boost in available seats. The Boeing 777-200ER will maintain a three-class configuration, providing passengers with options for business, premium economy, and economy travel.
Air France is the sole carrier offering direct flights between Raleigh-Durham and Paris, making this expansion particularly impactful for both business and leisure travelers in the region. The enhanced service will provide greater connectivity to Paris and beyond, leveraging Air France's extensive network across Europe, Africa, and Asia.
