“The airline has been a fantastic addition to our airport, and we are grateful for their confidence and investment in our market,” Phoenix Aviation Director Chad Makovsky said in a press release. “This increase means our passengers will have more options and competitive fares to not only fly to France but to the other 190 destinations that Air France serves beyond Paris.”
