Air France will launch a new
service from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Dar Es Salam, Tanzania, next summer as
a continuation of its existing flights to Zanzibar.
The service to Tanzania’s largest
city and economic hub will operate three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and
Saturdays) from 12 June.
Air France services to Zanzibar currently
operate twice a week and until recently as a continuation of its services to
Nairobi, Kenya.
From 12 June next year, the
airline will operate daily non-stop flights to and from the Kenyan capital, up
from six flights a week.
Also starting next summer, Air
France will increase services from Paris CDG to Antananarivo, Madagascar, from
four non-stop weekly flights to five.
Air France partner airline KLM
already flies from Amsterdam to Dar Es Salam via Zanzibar on Thursdays and
Sundays and via Kilimanjaro on other days of the week.
The airline has also confirmed its
new service from Paris CDG to New York Newark, commencing on 12 December, will
continue as a year-round service.
Air France also expects to resume
its year-round three-times-weekly services between Paris CDG and Hong Kong from
9 January.
