Air France expands in West Africa

Represented on the African continent for 75 years Air France is expanding its services.

Last week Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, was linked directly to Paris for the first time with a new twice weekly service via Conakry, the capital of Guinea.  Conakry, which is also the largest city in the country and sits on the Atlantic coast, is also the hub for another new two times a week operation, this time to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia.

With the new flights Air France now offers a daily service to Conakry, four times weekly non-stop and three times weekly via Nouakchott, by far the biggest city of Mauritania.

Flights to Conakry, Nouakchott, Freetown and Monrovia will be operated by Airbus A330-200 with 208 seats, in Air France’s three long haul cabin classes (40 seats in Business, 21 in Premium Voyageur and 147 in Voyageur).  Air France/KLM now serves 38 destinations in Africa. www.airfrance.com
