Air France to return to Manila with thrice-weekly flights from Paris on October 19

Air France will makes its return to Manila, Philippines as it brings back its non-stop flights from Paris on October 19.

Announced via a post on social media by the New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation (NNIC), Air France will operate three weekly flights between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Manila (MNL) using Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Operating as a seasonal winter service, Air France last operated flights on the route in April 2026.

The seasonal winter service is scheduled to be operated through March 25, 2027. It will once again be the lone non-stop link between the Philippines and Europe, though KLM also operates a direct, four-times weekly service between Manila and Amsterdam with a technical stop at Taipei Taoyuan Airport. KLM is not permitted to sell tickets for travel between Manila and Taipei.
