Air France is expanding its U.S. network again, with two new nonstop routes from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Nashville and San Diego scheduled to launch in May 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both routes will operate three times a week aboard the Airbus A350-900, giving travelers in Tennessee and Southern California a new direct option to Paris while also opening easier connections across Air France\u2019s wider European, African and Asian network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nashville service will begin on May 14, 2027. Flight AF38 will leave Paris at 2:10 p.m. and arrive in Nashville at 4:40 p.m. local time. The return flight, AF39, will depart Nashville at 6:55 p.m. and land at Paris Charles de Gaulle at 10:15 a.m. the following morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three days later, on May 17, Air France will add San Diego. Flight AF58 will depart Paris at 10:10 a.m. and arrive in San Diego at 12:50 p.m., while AF57 will leave San Diego at 3:10 p.m. and arrive in Paris at 11:10 a.m. the next day. The schedules are designed to feed into Air France\u2019s large bank of onward connections at Charles de Gaulle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nashville route is particularly notable because it gives one of America\u2019s fastest-growing tourism and business markets another direct connection to Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Middle Tennessee travelers, the new flight removes the need to connect through a major U.S. hub before heading to Paris. It also gives passengers access to dozens of onward destinations from Charles de Gaulle on Air France and its SkyTeam partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The route also adds more competition to Nashville\u2019s increasingly international air service, which has expanded significantly in recent years as the city\u2019s population, tourism sector and corporate presence have grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For European travelers, the flight provides direct access to one of the most recognizable leisure destinations in the American South, known for its live music scene, nightlife and growing culinary reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
