Air France Adds Las Vegas to Its Summer 2026 Network
Air France will begin operating direct flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Las Vegas on April 15, 2026. The service will run three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, and will be operated by Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The route will provide a new link between France and the state of Nevada as part of Air France’s summer schedule for 2026, covering the period from April to October.
Flight schedule:
- AF56 – departs Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 13:40, arriving in Las Vegas at 15:35 local time.
- AF57 – departs Las Vegas at 17:50, landing in Paris at 13:05 the following day.
With this addition, Las Vegas becomes the airline’s 19th U.S. destination and 26th in North America, further expanding its transatlantic operations.
The new route complements KLM’s existing Amsterdam–Las Vegas service, which operates up to seven times per week. The Air France–KLM Group's work together should make it easier for people to travel between Europe and the western United States. The flights to Las Vegas will also connect with Air France's large network in Europe and around the world through Paris, making it easier for people who are going to places other than France to transfer.
Las Vegas is a great place to see some of the most famous natural and cultural sites in the southwestern United States. People who come to Nevada can see famous places nearby, like the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, and Hoover Dam. The area also has access to several national parks in nearby states, making it a good place for people to start their trips to the deserts and nature reserves of the American Southwest.
Air France's opening of this route shows that the company is still focused on destinations that are good for both business and tourism. It shows that long-haul travel between Europe and the US is slowly getting better. The Paris–Las Vegas connection gives travelers another option for crossing the Atlantic and shows that there is a growing need for routes that connect major European cities with U.S. vacation spots.
