Getting to Tenerife from Paris should be a little easier this winter, with Air France adding a weekly flight to Tenerife South Airport for the 2026-27 season.
The winter schedule began last weekend and runs until the end of March. The new service forms part of a wider expansion by the French airline, which is increasing its seat capacity on routes to Spain and Portugal by 5% compared with last winter.
Other changes in the region include two daily flights between Paris and Porto, giving passengers more choice for travel between France and Portugal.
Air France is also increasing services elsewhere, with more capacity planned for South America, North America, Asia and Africa.
Flights to South America will see a 3% capacity increase, with Brazil receiving particular attention. From 21 December, the airline plans to operate two daily flights between Paris and Rio de Janeiro, while services to Fortaleza will run daily during periods of higher demand.
From 18 January 2027, two additional weekly flights will be added to Salvador de Bahia, and the Paris to Santiago de Chile route will increase to ten flights a week. Services to the Dominican Republic will also be strengthened, with three weekly flights scheduled between 30 November 2026 and 1 May 2027.
Across North America, Air France plans to increase seat capacity by 6%, serving 23 destinations.
The winter programme also includes more flights to Phuket in Thailand, rising from three to five weekly services, while routes to Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar in Tanzania will increase to daily flights.
Closer to home, the airline will strengthen domestic connections from Paris Charles de Gaulle, including eleven daily flights to Toulouse, ten to Nice and nine to Marseille.
Its low-cost subsidiary, Transavia, will operate 174 routes connecting 89 cities across 26 countries during the winter season.
For Tenerife, the extra weekly Paris connection is a welcome addition to the winter flight schedule, offering another option for travellers heading to the island from the French capital.
