Twice-daily flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays during the peak summer travel period
Cork Airport warmly welcomes the announcement by Air France of more flights and seat capacity on the Cork to Paris route this summer.
The French flag-carrier has announced that their daily seasonal service will be boosted by twice-daily flights on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday during the peak summer travel months of July and August.
Flying from Cork Airport since 2018, Air France provides a direct, daily service to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport from March 31 to October 29, 2024. The service provides excellent access to the French capital along with onward connectivity to 187 onward destinations across the wider Air France worldwide network.
Tourism Ireland ranks France as the fourth-largest market for inbound tourists to the island of Ireland. The greater Paris metropolitan area is home to an estimated 12 million people and the addition of increased flights, and more seats is a welcome boost to the Irish tourism industry across the South of Ireland.
Cork Airport is the gateway to both the Wild Atlantic Way and Ireland’s Ancient East and this summer will have the best connectivity between France and Ireland outside of Dublin.
Announcing the expanded operations at Cork Airport, Jerome Salemi, General Manager UK & Ireland, Air France–KLM said:
“The return of the daily flights between Cork and Paris is in response to the popularity of this route during the summer period and really strengthens our footprint in Ireland. We are very pleased to be offering this service as part of our commitment to the Irish region, allowing even more passengers from the South of Ireland to visit not only France, but also a long list of worldwide destinations via our convenient hub at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.”
