Air France fleet

List of aircraft operated by Air France From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Air France operates a fleet of 226 aircraft, most of which are manufactured by Airbus Industrie. The airline's fleet of narrow-body aircraft comprises all four Airbus A320 family variants. The airline's wide-body fleet, consisting of the Airbus A330, Airbus A350, Boeing 777, and Boeing 787 Dreamliner, serve medium to long-haul routes.[1][2][3][4] The airline had also ordered the short-haul Airbus A220-300s to replace their aging Airbus A318s and A319s. In September 2023, Air France-KLM announced an additional order for 50 Airbus A350s to replace their Airbus A330s and their Boeing 777-200ERs.[5]
