The company announced on Tuesday, they will be including Thessaloniki and the islands of Mykonos and Santorini, to their routes flying from Paris from July 13 to August 30. The flight to Thessaloniki will take place on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, to Santorini on Wednesdays and to Mykonos on Mondays and Wednesdays.
The Paris-Thessaloniki, Paris-Santorini and Paris-Mykonos routes will all launch on July 13 and run until August 30.

“With this new flight to and from Thessaloniki, Air France will now be offering 45 flights a week and KLM 14, in addition to the summer flights to and from the regional airports of France, Nice, Toulouse, Marseille, and Bordeaux, also including the Heraklion – Marseille route,” Yiannis Pantazopoulos, regional manager of the Air France-KLM Group in Athens, said, adding that Air France will be operating a total of 11 flights per week for the high summer season with Airbus A320s.
