As an official partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Air France will be transporting 600 pupils from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Saint Martin, and Reunion Island to Paris. These students will attend Paralympic events as part of a program aimed at introducing them to the diversity of disabled sports and the values of the Paralympic spirit.

This initiative is part of the ‘Ma classe aux Jeux’ program established by the French Ministry of Education. It aligns with the ‘Tous aux Jeux’ ticketing scheme initiated by the French government, which enables 400,000 people from various backgrounds—including young people, sports communities, individuals with disabilities, and civil servants—to experience the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Air France CEO Anne Rigail stated, "Following the success of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games promise to highlight Air France's foremost values of inclusion, diversity and the desire to excel. This operation is a fantastic opportunity for these 600 young people to experience a historic event, and we are delighted to be able to make our contribution by flying them to Paris. As an official partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Air France is fully committed to the ‘Games Wide Open’ approach promoted by the Paris 2024 Olympic Games Organising Committee."
