Air France is the national carrier of France and one of the world's most recognized full-service airlines, operating as the flagship brand of the Air France-KLM Group. Founded in 1933, the airline connects passengers to a global network spanning more than 170 destinations across over 90 countries, with its primary hub at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). The airline is a founding member of the SkyTeam global alliance, enabling seamless connections with partner carriers worldwide.
Air France serves a broad range of travelers across multiple cabin classes, including Economy, Premium Economy, Business (La Première and Business), and its exclusive La Première first class suite on select long-haul routes. Passengers benefit from in-flight dining, entertainment, and baggage allowances that vary by fare type and cabin class. The airline's extensive route map covers key regions including Europe, Africa and the Indian Ocean, the Americas and Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, with dedicated regional booking portals for each market.
Frequent flyers can participate in the Flying Blue loyalty program, a joint scheme shared with KLM and other SkyTeam partners. Members earn Miles on flights and partner purchases, which can be redeemed for award tickets, upgrades, and other travel benefits. Elite status tiers — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — provide additional privileges such as lounge access, priority boarding, and bonus Miles.
Air France offers tickets through its official website, regional domain portals (with country-specific sites across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East), as well as through travel agents via the AgentConnect platform. The airline also operates subsidiary and partner brands including HOP! for French regional routes and Transavia as its low-cost leisure carrier, offering travelers options at different price points within the same group.
For cargo customers, Air France Cargo (via AFKL Cargo) provides freight services across the airline's network. Corporate travelers can access dedicated booking tools and negotiated fare programs. Air France also maintains commitments to sustainable aviation through its Air France & Développement Durable (sustainable development) initiatives, targeting emissions reduction and investment in more fuel-efficient aircraft as part of its long-term environmental strategy.
