From Spain, travellers will be able to fly to New York with Air France next summer from nine airports (Barcelona, Bilbao, Ibiza, Madrid, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Seville, Tenerife South and Valencia) with a connection at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.

On the Paris CDG-New York Newark route, the schedule will be reinforced from 1 June 2026, with up to two daily flights compared to the previous single flight. The flights will be operated on Airbus A350-900 aircraft equipped with the airline’s new travel cabins, in particular the new Business seat with a door.
