Air France launches daily flights to Abu Dhabi from Paris

Air France has announced that it has started daily flights to Abu Dhabi from its hub Paris-Charles de Gaulle with the inaugural flight arriving at Abu Dhabi International Airport Monday. The daily service is being operated by an Airbus A350-900 aircraft with a total of 324 seats (34 in Business, 24 in Premium Economy and 266 in Economy). The launch of the new route linking the two capital cities comes as Air France celebrates it’s 90th anniversary. The route will boost local tourism and further promote the emirate as a global destination and expand Abu Dhabi Airports’ network. The Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) Abu Dhabi and Air France-KLM signed a MoU forging a strategic partnership to enhance connectivity between Abu Dhabi and Europe. The new service will also offer opportunities for passengers boarding in Abu Dhabi to explore Paris and the regions of France, and beyond to the Americas through the Air France global network of destinations with only one stop over in Paris, it stated. <br/>
