French Bee (BF)

French Bee is preparing an expanded summer programme to Réunion, with more flights departing from Montreal with a connection at Orly and from Paris Orly. For passengers, the benefits are twofold: greater flexibility in departure dates and more opportunities to find a flight from Paris to Saint-Denis at the best price. For Réunion, this strengthening of air connections supports the island’s appeal as a tourist destination and makes travel between Réunion, mainland France and Canada easier. This development is part of French Bee’s strategy to develop its route network. The airline is adapting its seasonal flight offering and increasing the number of seats departing from the airports where demand is highest.

French Bee expands its long-haul direct flights departing from Paris-Orly Airport to Réunion, with 14 flights per week, Montreal, with 4 flights per week, New York, with 6 flights per week, Miami, with 3 flights per week, as well as the direct Papeete–San Francisco air connection, with 3 weekly round trips. With its fleet modernised and made up exclusively of Airbus A350s, the French airline is significantly reducing its environmental impact, with 55 g CO₂/seat/km, a 25% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared with older generations. By combining sustainability with enhanced comfort and flexibly adapting to travellers’ needs through the strategic increase in flight frequencies, French Bee is establishing itself as a major player in the long-haul market, positioning itself as the benchmark for low-cost transatlantic travel.
