A daily scheduled air service between Cardiff and Paris will be reinstated next month. The route between Cardiff and Paris-Orly airports will be operated by Eastern Airways on behalf of Air France. It will commence on April 21st with return fares from £69.99p
A route from the Rhoose-based airport to Paris was last operated by Spanish airline Veuling before ending last summer. Development manager for Welsh Government-owned Cardiff Airport, Marc Watkins, said: “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.”
Fahmi Mahjoub, general manager UK and Ireland, Air France/KLM, said: “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 UK. Residents in South Wales will now be able to fly from their local airport and reach the magnificent capital of France with a direct service.
