Starting 6 June 2011, the Air France A380 will operate a daily service between Paris and Washington DC.The National capital of the United States will thus become the 2nd U.S. destination served by the airline’s super jumbo, after New York, launched one year ago.
Flight bookings and ticket sales open on 30 November 2010.
“With Washington, three of the five destinations served by Air France’s A380 during summer 2011 will be in North America. This effectively illustrates the airline’s investment in the cross Atlantic route. The airbus A380 plane, highly appreciated by our customers, will strengthen our assets on one of the world’s most competitive markets”, said Patrick Roux, Senior Vice President Americas.
