From August 28 to September 8, 2024, Air France, the official partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, will showcase its products and services in Paris. The airline is taking over SPOT24, a new multi-purpose venue located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, near many Paralympic event sites. SPOT24 also serves as the visitor center for 'Paris je t'aime,' the city's tourist office.

In the area dedicated to Air France, visitors can experience the airline's latest Business cabin. Additionally, Air France will promote its SAPHIR assistance service for customers with disabilities. For over 20 years, this service has provided a range of support before and after flights. Annually, nearly 600,000 customers benefit from this special assistance.

Visitors will have an opportunity to enter a competition to win two tickets in the Business cabin to any long-haul destination.
