Nashville travelers will be able to fly directly to Paris three days a week beginning in May 2027, under a new Air France service linking Nashville International Airport with Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. The airline plans flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Paris-to-Nashville service is scheduled to depart at 2:10 p.m. local time and arrive at 4:40 p.m. the same day. Flights from Nashville are set to leave at 6:55 p.m. and reach Paris at 10:15 a.m. the following day. Air France said tickets would go on sale Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026. The airline assigned the service flight number AF046, a reference to 1946, the year Dolly Parton was born. A formal announcement was scheduled for 8 a.m. Wednesday, with Tennessee’s governor, airline representatives and local leaders expected to discuss potential tourism, business and cultural ties between the destinations. The new route will provide a direct transatlantic connection from Nashville; the announced schedule does not specify fares or aircraft details.
