Delta to Launch Raleigh-Durham to Paris Charles de Gaulle Flights

Delta Air Lines is to launch nonstop flights from Raleigh-Durham International Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport on 12 May 2016.

The flight will operate in conjunction with the airline's joint venture partners Air France, KLM and Alitalia using 164-seat, Boeing 757-200ER aircraft.

From Delta's joint venture hub in Paris, customers can connect to more than 75 onward destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, increasing global access for a region with strong international ties through its world-class universities and global companies.

The daily flight will be Delta's 13th destination from Paris and the only nonstop link between the two cities.

"RDU and Delta Air Lines have been business partners for more than 40 years. During this time, Delta has increased its presence at RDU to meet the demand of our region, which it does today with nonstop service to 20 cities," said Mike Landguth, CEO and President of RDU Airport Authority. "Today, we celebrate Delta's latest expansion in our market with nonstop service to Paris' Charles de Gaulle International Airport. We thank Delta for its continued investment in our community and for connecting our region to the world."

International passengers flying in Delta's business class cabin, Delta One, can enjoy a full range of premium products, including flat-bed seats with Westin Heavenly Inflight Bedding and Tumi amenity kits.

Flights also feature Wi-Fi, power available at every seat and inflight entertainment with hundreds of the latest TV shows, movies and more all on demand.

The flights will be available for sale beginning Saturday, 26 September 2015.
