Air France fleet

Air France operates a fleet of 229 aircraft, most of which are manufactured by Airbus Industrie. The airline's fleet of narrow-body aircraft comprises all four Airbus A320 family variants. The airline's wide-body fleet, consisting of the Airbus A330, Airbus A350 XWB, Boeing 777, and Boeing 787 Dreamliner families, serve medium to long-haul routes. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} The airline had also ordered the short-haul Airbus A220-300s to replace their aging Airbus A318s and A319s. In September 2023, Air France-KLM announced an order for 50 Airbus A350 aircraft which will be shared between Air France and KLM to replace their aging Airbus A330 and Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. ^[5]
