Air France abandons Paris-Newark service

Air France will no longer operate the five weekly flights to Newark which have been offered until now from Paris-CDG. The airline says it is adapting to demand and refocusing its operations on New York's other hub, JFK.

Flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Newark could soon be changing hands. In any case, they will no longer be operated by Air France, which is withdrawing from this route. " Air France is adapting its offer of flights to New York to meet demand by concentrating its activity at JFK airport and suspending its offer to Newark", states the airline, adding that "the passengers concerned will be offered a re-routing solution by the airline". Air France and its partners KLM, Delta and Alitalia are nevertheless maintaining a significant transatlantic offer, with a total of 266 daily flights via their joint venture.
