Air France is set to boost its Phoenix-Paris service to five weekly flights starting May 2025, marking a significant expansion just one year after the route’s launch. The airline will upgrade to an Airbus A350-900, offering 324 seats in a three-class configuration: 34 in Business, 24 in Premium Economy and 266 in Economy.
Effective May 5, 2025, the new schedule will see flights departing Paris at 10:45 a.m. and arriving in Phoenix at 12:50 p.m. The return flight will leave Phoenix at 3:05 p.m. and reach Paris the next day at 10:10 a.m. This frequency and aircraft capacity increase is expected to generate an estimated $103 million annual economic impact for Arizona, up from the initial $70 million projection.
Meanwhile, American Airlines is set to resume its non-stop service between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and London Heathrow Airport from March 29, 2025. This reintroduction strengthens Phoenix’s international connectivity, complementing existing transatlantic routes operated by British Airways and Condor Airlines to London and Frankfurt, respectively.
