Air France is starting new flights to London Gatwick in March 2026 with a twice-daily service to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, expanding its UK network and strengthening connectivity through its main hub.
The route is set to open on March 29, 2026.
New twice-daily service
The schedule published by Air France sees daily departures from Paris-CDG at 09.20 and 15.45, arriving at Gatwick at 09.30 and 15.55.
Return flights will leave Gatwick at 10.30 and 17.10, with arrivals in Paris at 12.40 and 19.20.
The airline states that the timings are designed to ensure smooth onward connections across its medium and long-haul network at Heathrow which remains Air France’s main UK gateway.
The additional flights to Gatwick means the airline will serve six UK airports, offering up to around 300 weekly flights depending on the season.
The announcement comes as low-cost carrier Wizz Air says it will begin cutting services from Gatwick.
Special flights for Six Nations rugby
In addition to the new Gatwick link, Air France will operate 12 special flights between Paris-CDG and Cardiff for the Six Nations rugby tournament.
These will run from February 13 to 16, 2026, to accommodate supporters travelling to the Welsh capital.
