The route, operated on the airline’s modern Airbus A220, provides more opportunities for family getaways, foodie weekends, romantic escapes and connecting to Air France’s impressive global network - and reflects the strong demand from leading carriers to operate at London Gatwick. With two flights each day, passengers can choose timings that suit their plans.
From Paris, passengers can connect seamlessly to destinations across the United States, Africa, Asia and South America - offering even more choice from London Gatwick as the airport continues to grow its global connectivity.
