Air France is adding long-haul flights this summer in response to growing demand, especially from the US, ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris.
The French arm of Air France-KLM expects to offer 9% more summer capacity than last year on long-distance routes, it said Monday in a statement. It’s resuming flights between Paris and Minneapolis, starting service to Phoenix and adding frequencies to Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina, the carrier said.
