Air France Olympics Plane | Air France

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.

While many delegations arrived before the Opening Ceremony on July 26, arrivals continue steadily as Olympic events progress. Air France is also preparing for athlete departures post-competition. Unlike gradual arrivals, departures are expected to be concentrated within a 24 to 48-hour period following the Closing Ceremony on August 12.

To facilitate a smooth experience for all travelers during this period, Air France has established a dedicated check-in facility within the Olympic and Paralympic Village. Athletes and delegations can check their luggage a day before departure directly at the Village and will use a dedicated route to and from the airport. This off-site check-in system will operate around both Closing Ceremonies (August 11 for the Olympics and September 8 for the Paralympics) with up to 125 Air France ground staff assisting with baggage check-ins.
