Air France has exciting news for travelers looking to escape to Thailand during the upcoming winter season of 2025/26! The renowned French flag carrier recently revealed plans to introduce a new route to the beautiful island of Phuket. The service, set to commence on November 27, 2025, will offer nonstop flights three times a week between Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Phuket International Airport (HKT). This new connection is pending approval from the Thai government and will be operated by spacious Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, featuring a total of 472 seats.

Phuket, a popular tourist hotspot located in southern Thailand, marks Air France's second destination in the country, complementing its existing daily service to Bangkok (BKK) from Paris-CDG. The addition of the Phuket route is part of Air France's ongoing efforts to expand its long-haul offerings, following recent announcements of increased capacity to various destinations in 2025.

Earlier this year, the airline unveiled plans to enhance its flight network by adding Riyadh and Orlando to its list of serviced cities, both of which will be linked to Paris-CDG using A350-900 aircraft. Furthermore, Air France has outlined a series of expansions on existing routes, including boosting service frequency on routes like New York-JFK and introducing additional daily flights to destinations like Papeete in French Polynesia.

In addition to the above, travelers can expect enhanced connectivity to various international destinations from Paris-CDG, with increased capacity planned for routes connecting to cities such as Salvador de Bahia, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, Sint Maarten, Brazzaville, Manila, Nairobi, Zanzibar, and Kilimanjaro International Airport. These improvements will be achieved through a combination of additional flights, upgraded aircraft, and extended seasonal flight programs.

Overall, the introduction of the new Phuket service by Air France underscores the airline's commitment to providing passengers with diverse travel options and seamless connectivity to sought-after destinations around the globe.
