Air France has announced the expansion of its Airbus A320 flights to Brazil from its base in Cayenne, French Guiana, effectively doubling its routes in the South American country. The new service, which commenced on April 15, 2025, connects Cayenne with Fortaleza on a weekly basis.
The airline's initial venture into Brazil started in July 2022 with flights between Cayenne and Belém. This new addition links the two cities via a direct route that spans 976 nautical miles. Historical data shows that Azul, another airline, serviced this route from 2016 until 2020 with its E195 aircraft. After a five-year hiatus, Air France has reintroduced the nonstop service.
Flight schedules show that the Cayenne-Fortaleza route, coded AF608, operates on Tuesdays, departing at 13:05 and arriving at 16:00 local time. The return journey, labeled AF609, occurs on Wednesdays departing Fortaleza at 15:00 and landing in Cayenne at 17:50. The extended layover in Brazil facilitates connections for passengers traveling between the French Caribbean and Fortaleza.
