Air France has welcomed over 9,000 accredited guests representing more than 150 nationalities on board its aircraft for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. As an official partner of the event, Air France has been preparing for weeks to accommodate sports delegations, media, and fans.
At this stage, one in three accredited guests who have arrived in Paris by air traveled with Air France. The peak arrival day was July 25, 2024, the eve of the Opening Ceremony when nearly 1,000 accredited persons were transported. Ninety percent of these arrivals landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.
The first delegations of Paralympic athletes have also started arriving in France to prepare before their competitions begin. Delegations from Japan, Switzerland, and the United States are among the most represented on Air France flights.
