Air France will increase its operations in Lima with a second flight on select days starting in August 2025. This will be the first time the French carrier reaches this frequency in the Peruvian capital since it began service there in 2011.
The airline will increase from seven to nine weekly flights beginning August 4, reaching ten weekly frequencies in September, a schedule that will remain in place through October.
The routes will be operated with Airbus A350-900, Boeing 777-200(ER), and Boeing 777-300(ER) aircraft, offering a total of 92,800 seats during the specified period—equivalent to a 30% increase compared to 2024.
• Flight AF 500 CDG 10:35 - 16:05 LIM / daily
• Flight AF 504 CDG 13:15 - 18:40 LIM / Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays (new frequencies)
• Flight AF 501 LIM 18:20 - 13:50 (+1) CDG / daily
• Flight AF 505 LIM 20:55 - 16:20 (+1) CDG / Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays (new frequencies)
In 2024, Paris ranked as the 14th most traveled international destination from Lima, with 225,304 passengers, according to figures from Peru’s General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC).
With this adjustment, Lima will become the fourth South American destination served by Air France with up to two daily flights, joining São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago de Chile.
