Air France now offers customers three weekly flights to Shanghai-Pudong by Airbus A380, becoming the first European airline to serve the Chinese financial centre with its superjumbo.

With the A380, our customers can enjoy an optimum travel experience in all cabin classes, as well as services specially adapted to the Chinese culture” declared Frédéric Gagey, Chairman and CEO of Air France.

On board its Airbus A380, Air France offers customers four cabin classes (La Première, Business, Pre-mium Economy and Economy) as well as several exclusive new features for a unique travel experience and even more comfort:

A particularly quiet cabin
An extremely spacious cabin interior
