Air France Paris–New York: 777-300ER, A350 and Starlink Wi‑Fi

Air France is scaling up its transatlantic offering for Summer 2026, focusing on the Paris–New York market. The carrier plans to operate up to 11 daily round trips connecting Paris-Charles de Gaulle with New York’s JFK and Newark Liberty International airports, aiming to give both business and leisure travelers more choice and premium options.

More frequencies and aircraft choices

From Summer 2026, Air France will operate up to six daily flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and New York-JFK. Four of those JFK rotations will be flown by the Boeing 777-300ER and will include La Première first-class cabins, delivering an elevated product for premium travellers.

The remaining JFK services will be operated in cooperation with joint-venture partner Delta Air Lines, reinforcing connectivity across the New York metropolitan area and enabling smoother onward connections across North America.

Expanded Newark service and A350 comforts

Air France will also increase frequencies to Newark Liberty International Airport. From June 1, 2026 the carrier will add a second daily flight on the Paris–Newark routing. These additional flights will be operated with the Airbus A350-900, showcasing the airline’s newest cabin features.

The A350-900s will offer the airline’s latest Business Class seat with a sliding door for improved privacy, a quieter cabin environment and enhanced onboard amenities aimed at business travellers and long-haul tourists.

• Total Paris–New York capacity: up to 11 daily flights (JFK + Newark)
• Paris–JFK: up to six daily flights, four on Boeing 777-300ER with La Première
• Paris–Newark: second daily A350-900 service begins June 1, 2026
• Fleetwide high-speed Wi‑Fi (Starlink) to be available by year-end

Starlink high-speed Wi‑Fi across the fleet

Air France is rolling out Starlink-powered high-speed Wi‑Fi on many services to and from New York now, with plans to have Starlink available on all flights by the end of the year. The move is intended to provide passengers with faster, more reliable onboard internet across transatlantic routes.

Flight times and seasonal Nice service for Cannes Lions

Air France has published new timings for the Paris–Newark rotations, and will also operate special nonstop flights between New York-JFK and Nice Côte d’Azur in June 2026 to serve the Cannes Lions festival. The Nice seasonal flights will be run on June 20 and 21 with return sectors on June 25 and 26, using Boeing 777-300ER equipment.

The partnership with Delta Air Lines remains central to Air France’s strategy, enabling the carrier to feed more passengers into its transatlantic schedule and provide wider connection options across North America.

What this means for travelers

For passengers, the expansion translates into more scheduling flexibility between Paris and New York, a greater chance to access premium cabins like La Première, and improved onboard connectivity through Starlink. Business travelers will find additional late-evening and midday options, while leisure travellers benefit from seasonal links such as the direct Nice flights for Cannes.

So what? Increased frequencies and upgraded aircraft mean more seat availability and enhanced comfort on a key transatlantic corridor. The wider use of A350s and 777-300ERs, combined with fleetwide high-speed Wi‑Fi, should make Air France a more attractive option for travelers seeking both premium service and reliable connectivity.
