Paris CDG-Los Angeles is one of the flagship lines departing from France on the North Atlantic. This winter, up to three daily flights are offered to business travelers.. Air France-KLM in cooperation with Delta Air Lines thus serves this route twice a day with a Boeing 777 in the colors of the French company.
Return of Air Tahiti Nui
With the lifting of travel restrictions, we also find Air Tahiti Nui. The company had suspended the Paris-Papeete flight via Los Angeles. A suspension linked to the ban on foreign travelers from entering the United States. The Polynesian carrier had instead operated the Paris-Tahiti axis via Vancouver.
« We’re happy to come back to Los Angeles because that’s where the market is. Not only between Paris and Los Angeles but also between California and Tahiti. Vancouver is certainly a beautiful airport but its economic area of attraction is far, very far from that of Los Angeles., ” describe Jean-Marc Hastings, Regional Director France and Europe of Air Tahiti Nui.
Outbound flights resumed on November 16 while the first return flight will take off from Tahiti to Los Angeles and Paris on the 18th. The company will offer 3 to 7 weekly flights on this route with its Boeing 787.
French Bee arrives in April
The competition will further intensify from April 9 with the announcement by French Bee of his arrival on this strategic axis. The carrier will offer four weekly non-stop flights from Paris Orly and Los Angeles International Airport. The flights will be operated by brand new Airbus A350s.
French Bee intends to win with very attractive call prices. A one-way ticket will be marketed at 279 euros in call price on its traditional economy class, while the call price for its Premium class will start at 631 euros. Prices that should certainly revive the price war on Paris-Los Angeles.
French Bee will also offer connections to other cities in the United States thanks to a interline agreement with Alaska Airlines.
French Bee’s positioning in Los Angeles follows a development strategy in the North Atlantic. « After the successful launch to New York and the resumption of San Francisco on November 10, we are excited to launch our third American route from Paris-Orly, and to continue our expansion in the United States.“, Comments Marc Rochet, President of French Bee.
