Air France will launch a new direct, nonstop route connecting Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) starting Apr. 15, 2026. This seasonal service, operating through Oct. 24, 2026, marks Las Vegas as the first new destination added to the French flag carrier’s Summer 2026 schedule.
“Welcoming Air France to Las Vegas is a proud moment for our city. Linking Las Vegas with Paris and Charles de Gaulle marks a significant milestone in strengthening our global reach. This new route not only makes it easier for travelers from France and across Europe to experience the energy and excitement of Las Vegas but also reflects the shared global appeal that unite our two world-class destinations,” said Steve Hill, President and CEO, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), in a press statement.
Oh La La Las Vegas
The new route will operate three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays using the Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Flight AF56 will depart Paris at 1:40 p.m. and arrive in Las Vegas at 3:35 p.m. local time. The return flight, AF57, leaves Las Vegas at 5:50 p.m. and reaches Paris at 1:05 p.m. the following day.
“We are thrilled to announce our new nonstop service between Las Vegas and Paris, our 19th US destination, further expanding Air France’s presence in the United States. This exciting new route will connect travelers from Las Vegas and the greater Southwest to Paris and our extensive global network across Europe and beyond. We look forward to welcoming our customers aboard our state-of-the-art Airbus A350 and offering them the exceptional elegance, comfort, and service that define the Air France experience,” said Nicolas Henin, General Manager, North America at Air France-KLM in a press statement.
This expansion builds on Air France’s earlier announcement to extend its traditional Consumer Electronics Show service. What was previously six flights during convention week will now become three weekly flights from Jan. 3–23, 2026.
The new service is projected to bring 26,892 seats per season with an estimated $34.7 million in direct economic impact and $57.5 million in overall impact per season. Las Vegas attracted nearly 1.2 million European visitors in 2024, including 86,000 from France, indicating strong demand for this route.
For clients seeking additional European connections to Las Vegas, sister airline KLM also serves the destination year-round with up to seven weekly flights from Amsterdam-Schiphol.
