Air France will connect the French capital Paris with Salzburg and Innsbruck in winter 2022/23. It is a temporary route that is primarily aimed at winter sports enthusiasts. The flights can also be used as feeders to the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub.

According to the airline, the two Austrian destinations will be served from December 10, 2022. It will go to Innsbruck twice a week until March 4, 2023. Salzburg will be served once a week until March 5, 2023. Both routes are to be served by Embraer 190 regional jets. These have 100 seats, 12 of which are in business class. The operational implementation is therefore carried out by the subsidiary Hop.

Passengers from Austria can combine the Amsterdam and Paris-Charles de Gaulle hubs when booking. Group member Transavia offers feeders to the KLM hub. A possible continuation after the provisional end dates has not yet been decided.

“We are happy and very proud to connect two more Austrian cities with our hub CDG in Paris. In addition to visiting Paris, this new flight also allows good connections to many destinations in Europe and in our intercontinental network. The combinability of the new Air France flights with the traditional KLM flights (operated by Transavia) connecting INN/SZG with AMS offers travelers expanded access to our global network,” said Guido Hackl, Country Sales Manager at Air France-KLM .
