The launch of the Maputo route will extend Air France’s African footprint to 43 cities on the continent. “The evening departure from Paris-Charles de Gaulle will serve as a perfect way to connect to the flight to Maputo and the early arrival from Maputo into Paris ensures that passengers can connect to the first wave of departures from Charles de Gaulle to anywhere in the world where Air France operates,” Tauro said. Passengers, however, will not disembark in Joburg, and the Joburg and Maputo route is operated with a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft equipped with refurbished cabins.
