Cardiff Airport flights to Paris great for Wales
Marc Watkins, aviation development manager for Cardiff Airport, said this was great news for the airport.
“It’s fantastic to welcome back another flag carrier to Cardiff Airport post pandemic and offer people living in Wales another capital city connection which is not only an awe-inspiring destination in itself but also a gateway to onward connections,” said Mr Watkins.
Fahmi Mahjoub, general manager of United Kingdom and Ireland for Air France/KLM, said residents of Cardiff and the surrounding areas will have easy access to Paris.
“This new cooperation between Air France and Eastern Airways is a very positive move and comes in response to the growing appetite for travel to Paris that we have noticed from all over the United Kingdom,” said Mr Mahioub.
“Residents near Cardiff will now be able to fly from their local airport and reach the magnificent capital of France with a direct service, an option that was not available to them before.”
Operated by UK airline Eastern Airways, passengers will be able to book via the Air France website – www.airfrance.co.uk – or alternatively using Eastern Airways’ own website –www.easternairways.com.
One-way fares, including taxes and charges, are from £69.99.
