Air France Swpas A350 For 777

Air France is making a one-time aircraft change on its popular Paris Charles de Gaulle to Las Vegas route in November 2026.

Flagged by aeroroutes.com, the flag-carrier of France intends to switch up its usual Airbus A350-900 service to the Boeing 777-300ER on 16 November 2026, however, for just one day, and one day only.

As part of the airline’s most recent schedule refinement, this will increase capacity from the 324-seat Airbus widebody to the 369-seat Boeing widebody.

The Air France Schedule

Under the adjustments, the schedule will remain the same despite the expected aircraft swap.

AF56 will depart Paris at 1340, arriving in Las Vegas the same day at 1535; these times are local to their respective cities and allow for a same-day arrival, with the opportunity to connect onward, where required, deeper into the United States or North America.

AF57 is timed for a 1750 departure from Las Vegas, with a 1305 arrival into Paris. This late-lunch arrival has also been timed to allow passengers on the Fneh carrier to connect, if required, deeper into Europe aboard a short-haul flight.

Service To Suspend

Even with the specialised one-off change that’ll see Air France swap the Airbus A350 for the Boeing 777, this comes just a short while before the service will suspend entirely.

From 1 February 2027 through to mid-April 2027, the service comes to a screeching halt. This is routine and part of the business’s Northern Winter schedule for 2026/27, which will see the service axed.

Adjustments, such as changes the business makes to its schedule, are typical and part of any airline’s efforts to utilise available assets best and redeploy capacity to in-demand markets seasonally.
