Air France will launch a new service from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Dar Es Salam, Tanzania, next summer as a continuation of its existing flights to Zanzibar.
The service to Tanzania’s largest city and economic hub will operate three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays) from 12 June.
Air France services to Zanzibar currently operate twice a week and until recently as a continuation of its services to Nairobi, Kenya.
From 12 June next year, the airline will operate daily non-stop flights to and from the Kenyan capital, up from six flights a week.
Also starting next summer, Air France will increase services from Paris CDG to Antananarivo, Madagascar, from four non-stop weekly flights to five.
Air France partner airline KLM already flies from Amsterdam to Dar Es Salam via Zanzibar on Thursdays and Sundays and via Kilimanjaro on other days of the week.
The airline has also confirmed its new service from Paris CDG to New York Newark, commencing on 12 December, will continue as a year-round service.
Air France also expects to resume its year-round three-times-weekly services between Paris CDG and Hong Kong from 9 January.
