Air France has unveiled the first additions to its summer 2027 schedule (April to October 2027), launching two new routes to the United States as it strengthens its presence in North America. From 3 May 2027, the airline will operate three weekly flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and San Diego, California, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, using Airbus A350-900 aircraft. From 14 May 2027, Air France will add three weekly flights to Nashville, Tennessee, also on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and also flown by the A350-900.

The Nashville flight carries flight number AF046, chosen as a tribute to Dolly Parton, the country music star closely associated with the city, who was born in 1946. Air France will be the only airline operating nonstop flights from Paris to either city, and the only airline serving Nashville from continental Europe.
