Air France expands UK network with Gatwick flights

Air France is expanding its UK network by introducing new flights between Gatwick and Paris Charles de Gaulle. 

The French flag carrier will run two Airbus A320 flights a day from March 29, 2026.

The service will offer greater access to the French capital, as well as the airline’s global network of almost 170 destinations across 73 countries via its Paris hub.

Gatwick chief commercial officer Jonathan Pollard said:“We’re thrilled to welcome Air France to London Gatwick, giving passengers more choice for direct flights to

Paris and seamless access to Air France’s global network.

“This addition, alongside other major carriers recently announced, underlines the strong demand for London Gatwick slots from the world’s leading airlines as the airport continues to grow.”

Air France KLM UK and Ireland general manager Jrrome Salemi added: “We are delighted to announce our new London Gatwick to Paris Charles de Gaulle service, further strengthening our commitment to the UK market. 

“We look forward to welcoming London Gatwick customers on board our flights and sharing the very best of Air France’s service, comfort and innovation.”

The development follows Jet2 confirming flights from Gatwick from next March; Air Arabia starting flights to Sharjah; and Condor to Frankfurt from April. In addition, Skybus is now running daily flights to Cornwall airport Newquay.
