Air France's popular, daily seasonal service from Cork to Paris Charles de Gaulle will commence early next year due to the high demand.
Previously operating the service from the end of March through October, next year it will begin on March 3, 2025.
Air France has operated to and from Cork Airport since 2018, providing a direct, daily service to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.
Announcing the earlier start date of Air France 2025 operations at Cork Airport, Jerome Salemi, General Manager of Air France-KLM (UK & Ireland), said: “After the success of the route last year, we wanted to make the extra effort to bring it back even earlier to give the Cork local community and businesses even more options to reach Paris and the rest of the world via our hub in Charles de Gaulle.
Tara Finn, Head of Aviation Business Development and Communications at Cork Airport welcomed the announcement by Air France saying: “Next spring, Air France will commence its daily service to Paris Charles de Gaulle at the beginning of March - four weeks earlier than planned.
"I’d like to thank Air France for this vote of confidence in Cork Airport and I’m confident that the direct services to Paris, along with the vast range of onward connections, will ensure the route performs well next summer.”
