Nashville Gains Nonstop Air France Paris Flight (tennesseelookout.com)

Air France will launch a nonstop Nashville-to-Paris flight on May 14, 2027, operating three times a week before expanding. The roughly nine-and-a-half-hour route will use an Airbus with 34 business, 24 premium and 266 economy seats, with complimentary French champagne for all passengers. Gov. Bill Lee said the state takeover of the Nashville airport board did not hinder negotiations, which airport President Doug Kreulen said spanned multiple years and included $4 million in gate expansion.
