Air France is adding three new long-haul destinations to its network during the upcoming winter season as part of a focus to attract leisure traffic.

Flights to Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International (ZNZ) start on Oct. 18, operating twice a week using Boeing 787-9 aircraft as a continuation of the flight to Nairobi (NBO) in Kenya.
The vacation destination was last served from France in 2015 by the now-defunct XL Airways France, which operated flights from CDG to ZNZ via Hurghada (HRG) in Egypt. Air France’s sister carrier KLM began flying to ZNZ in late-2020, offering service from Amsterdam (AMS).
