Air France will begin its new flight service between Paris and the UAE beginning on May 3, 2010. Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) welcomed the new service in a statement which said the new operation will “take advantage of the strong links between the two capitals and open up opportunities for new connections from Abu Dhabi to numerous destinations in France.”
Air France will fly five times from Charles De Gaulle Airport and Abu Dhabi International Airport. The new flight service will operate on an Airbus A330 configured with business class and economy class. Air France’s new Premium Voyageur class will be added within a few months. ADAC chairman Khalifa Al Mazrouei said it is very positive to see the Abu Dhabi International Airport attracting more airlines at a time when large carriers are consolidating.
