AF HEADS TO MEXICAN PLAYGROUND Air France is to launch a three times weekly service between Paris CDG and Cancun from October 21, operating a B777-300 in a two-class confi guration. Air France will be only the second European fl ag carrier to offer non-stop fl ights to Cancun, alongside British Airways, which offers a three times weekly service from London.
The launch of this new route follows initial discussions at the World Routes
event in Vancouver, Canada last year, according to ASUR’s route development manager, Federico Zamudio.
“ASUR met with Air France during Routes 2010 to talk about a potential Paris–Cancun service and the carrier noted that it could profi t not only from its home French market, but also from some of the underserved European markets to Cancun – namely Italy, Russia and Scandinavia – thanks to its strong connectivity at its Paris CDG hub,” he says.
