Air France is expanding its network in Asia by announcing a brand-new route between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Phuket, starting 27 November 2025. The French flag carrier will operate up to three direct flights per week on this new long-haul service during the winter 2025-2026 season.

This marks Air France's latest strategic move in Asia, following the successful launch of flights to Manila in the previous season. The new Phuket route will be flown using a Boeing 777-300ER, offering customers a high level of comfort across all cabin classes.

Flight Schedule (Local Times)

• AF156: Departs Paris (CDG) at 15:50, arrives in Phuket at 09:25 the next day (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday)
• AF157: Departs Phuket at 11:50, arrives in Paris (CDG) at 19:10 (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday)

With this addition, Air France will now serve 11 Asian destinations this winter: Bangkok, Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Manila, Osaka, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda, and now Phuket .
