Supplement to its offer on departure from Orly, Air France is preparing to strengthen its overseas service from Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle. Launched last December, connections between Roissy and the Antilles (Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe and Fort-de-France in Martinique) verront leurs fréquences augmenter à compter du 28 mars, with seven flights per week from and to each of the two islands. Le 2 avril, Air France will open a service between North Paris airport and Cayenne. Le premier vol entre Roissy et Saint-Denis est pour sa part programmé le 6 avril. Since then, Air France will operate seven weekly flights between Roissy and Réunion, avec ses Boeing 777-200 ou 300 tri-classes. In total, le programme de vols Paris-Réunion de la compagnie montera à 14 vols par semaine (seven from Orly, seven from Roissy). Air France is thus showing its ambitions in the French Overseas Territories, market more than ever refuge as long as the Covid-19 epidemic remains under control in the overseas departments. And on Reunion, Air Austral is no longer the only company to land at Orly.
