PHOENIX — Bon voyage! You'll soon be able to catch a direct flight to Paris from Phoenix.
On Monday, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego announced a new partnership with Air France providing non-stop flights out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Travelers can start booking their flights now which begin on May 23. Service on the Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner will operate three days per week through the summer.
Gallego says the new non-stop service will draw an estimated $30 million in economic impact to Phoenix.
The 2024 Summer Olympics are being held in Paris and this new flight will be operating in time to allow Arizona travelers an easier way to get to the games, Gallego announced.
“Adding non-stop service to Paris is a major milestone that demonstrates our commitment to providing convenient and efficient travel options to and from Phoenix,” said Mayor Gallego. “As our city continues to grow and become a destination for booming industries, I’m confident that direct service to Paris will unlock exciting possibilities for exploration and new business opportunities.”
