Paris, France.- Tourism Minister David Collado and Air France Commercial Director Frédéric Descours signed an agreement on Tuesday to resume flights connecting Paris and Punta Cana, starting January 2026. The airline will operate three weekly flights—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—using a Boeing 777 departing from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. He noted that Air France’s 2023 suspension of flights, due to rising fuel costs and local jet fuel taxes, had significantly affected the country’s air connectivity with northern Europe. The signing took place during the opening of the French tourism fair IFTM Top Resa, where the Dominican Republic is the guest country. Collado emphasized that resuming the Paris–Punta Cana route will strengthen ties with French tourists and reinforce the Dominican Republic’s position as a leading Caribbean tourist destination.
