Air France begins nonstop flights between Paris and Las Vegas

Air France started its new seasonal nonstop service between Harry Reid Airport in Las Vegas and Paris-Charles de Gaulle this month.

The new route will operate three times per week on an Airbus A350-900 through Oct. 24.

"We are proud to connect Las Vegas directly to Paris and our global network, offering travelers seamless access to destinations across Europe and beyond while delivering the elegance and service that define the Air France experience," said Nicolas Henin, general manager of North America at Air France-KLM.

Clark County director of aviation James C. Chrisley noted the airport's strong partnership with Air France, which over the past seven years has operated charter flights every January in support of the annual Consumer Electronics Show.

"It is especially rewarding to see that relationship evolve into seasonal service, linking two globally recognized destinations," Chrisley said.
