Air France and Orlando International Airport announced this week a new nonstop flight route connecting the City Beautiful with the City of Love.
Running Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the direct flights will transport travelers from MCO to Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Three cabins — business, premium and economy — will be offered.
Air France is returning to MCO after a 12-year hiatus to launch this popular travel route. As of summer 2025, Orlando will become Air France’s 18th U.S.-based destination; the lineup includes other notable cities such as Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City.
“Our partnership with Air France reinforces MCO’s dedication to expanding global connectivity and creating value for our community,” said Kevin J. Thibault, CEO of Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “We are excited to welcome Air France back to Orlando, furthering our city’s appeal as an international destination and connecting our region with one of Europe’s most iconic cities.”
“This new route highlights our commitment to strengthening connections between North America and France,” said Boaz Hulsman, Vice President of Commercial, North America at Air France-KLM.
Current schedules show flights departing from MCO at 11 p.m. and arriving in Paris at 1:30 p.m. the next day, with the next flight at 5:05 p.m. from Paris and arriving in Orlando at 8:45 p.m. the same day. Flights begin May 21, 2025 on Air France’s Airbus A350-900, which is equipped with 324 total seats.
Earlier this year, MCO also announced Breeze Airway would reinstate direct “Disney to Disney” flights from Orlando to John Wayne Airport in California after a months-long pause.
