Air France Keeps Growing Its Caribbean Footprint, With Even More Flights to Cancun

Air France is now flying even more frequencies to the Mexican Caribbean than ever before, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The carrier has ramped up its Paris-Cancun service from five times per week to seven times per week, another boost for a destination that continues to see growth in new airlift. 

It’s a sign of the growing demand for Cancun among European travelers, and comes on the heels of Virgin Atlantic’s new nonstop flights between London and Cancun — a route that launched last month. 

The new flights are also part of a broader regional ramp-up for Air France, including expanded flights to Costa Rica (with 10 flights per week) and a new nonstop route connecting Paris with Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. 

That route will kick off in a few weeks, with thrice-weekly service running from Jan. 13 to March 28.
