Changi Airport Group’s Post

Starting from October 29, Air France is set to launch daily direct flights between Paris and Abu Dhabi, a move expected to significantly enhance bilateral trade and tourism between the two countries. The French flag carrier will operate an Airbus A350-900 for this route, offering 324 seats, including 34 in business class, 24 in premium economy, and 266 in economy class. The outbound flight, AF638, will depart from Paris-Charles de Gaulle at 9.15 pm and reach Abu Dhabi at 6.45 am the following day. Conversely, the inbound flight, AF639, will leave Abu Dhabi at 8.45 am and arrive in Paris at 1.15 pm. The strengthened air connectivity reflects the growing relationship between the UAE and France, with the UAE being a crucial trading partner for France in the region. Additionally, Air France is set to expand its services during the winter season to include destinations like Dubai, Beirut, Cairo, and Tel Aviv, with up to 49 weekly flights to cater to the increasing travel demand in the Middle East.
