Using data from Cirium, a leading aviation analytics provider, Air France's six busiest Airbus A350-900 routes between France and the United States have been identified for November 2024. These flights are ranked by available seat miles. Air France's long-haul flights to the U.S. operate from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) Terminal 2.
