Air France launches third daily connection from Nuremberg to Paris-Charles de Gaulle

Starting October 26, Air France will expand its service on the Nuremberg–Paris-Charles de Gaulle route with a third daily flight. This expanded service will be included in the 2025/26 winter schedule and significantly strengthens the connection to the international hub in Paris.

Strategic importance of the new flight connection

“The increased frequency is not only beneficial for travelers who want to fly directly to Paris,” explains Dr. Michael Hupe, Managing Director of Nuremberg Airport. “Transfer passengers, in particular, benefit from three daily departures, as it significantly improves flexibility when changing to connecting flights worldwide.”

The Nuremberg–Paris route is one of the oldest connections at Nuremberg Airport, with a history spanning over 70 years. It exemplifies the Franco-German partnership and connects people with a high level of service on board.

Expansion of flight offerings and increased capacities

With the introduction of a third daily connection, Air France is further expanding its presence in Nuremberg. In the upcoming winter flight schedule, the Nuremberg metropolitan region will have up to 48 weekly flights to the two SkyTeam hubs Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol, in combination with the services of partner airline KLM.

Improved travel experience for trade fair visitors

This expansion is relevant not only for tourists, but also especially for business travelers and trade fair visitors. The Nuremberg Metropolitan Region is one of the most important economic areas in Germany, hosting numerous international trade fairs.

Peter Ottmann, CEO of the NürnbergMesse Group, emphasizes: “Good connections to international hubs are essential for the attractiveness of Nuremberg as a business and trade fair location. For our approximately 255,000 international guests annually, the third flight daily means more flexibility and convenience for arrival and departure.”

The expansion of air connections offers trade fair visitors better options for coordinating their travels with connecting flights and facilitates access to global markets.

Quality and distinction of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport

Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport was recently named “Best Airport in Europe” by Skytrax for the third consecutive year. This distinction underscores the airport’s high quality in both service and infrastructure –a significant advantage for passengers transiting through Paris.

Importance of the connection for the region and beyond

The continuous optimization of flight connections strengthens the Nuremberg region as a business and science location. The new flight frequency with Air France also strengthens the entire transport network and offers more choice and convenience for business travelers, tourists, and commuters.

The Nuremberg–Paris-Charles de Gaulle route gives travelers access not only to France’s capital, but also to the global network of Air France and SkyTeam, which includes a variety of destinations in Europe, America, Africa and Asia.

Outlook

The additional connection will modernize the travel offering from Nuremberg and adapt it to the needs of future passengers. The increased frequency is a sign of Nuremberg’s growth and importance in international air traffic.

Overall, all travelers benefit from the expanded flight options and the high level of service on board. The expansion of the Air France connection to a third daily flight demonstrates the importance of efficient and reliable connections for the economic development and international connectivity of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.

Conclusion

The introduction of a third daily Air France flight from Nuremberg to Paris-Charles de Gaulle starting in October 2025 represents a significant expansion of the flight offering. It offers passengers greater flexibility, promotes Nuremberg as a business location, and strengthens cross-border mobility between Germany and France.
