What new flights are coming to the Phoenix airport this year?

The biggest new flight for 2024 is Air France's new nonstop route to Paris, the fourth long-haul international flight at the Phoenix airport and the first to debut since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Paris route will launch on May 23 and fly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Planes will depart from Paris at 10:10 a.m. Central European Time and from Phoenix at 2:10 p.m. Arizona time. Air France will use a Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner with 30 business class seats, 21 premium economy seats and 228 economy seats.

The Phoenix-Paris flights will also offer connections within the U.S. and Europe, as Air France has partnerships that allow for transfers via Delta Air Lines in the U.S. and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in Europe.

Also new for 2024 is a Phoenix-Tijuana flight operated by American Airlines, expanding its robust network of routes between Sky Harbor and Mexico with a first-of-its-kind flight, the first nonstop between Tijuana and any U.S. airport. The route will begin on Feb. 15.

Also on Feb. 15, American will launch service between Phoenix and Pasco, Washington, adding a new way for Arizonans to fly to the Pacific Northwest. Pasco is a jumping-off point to Walla Walla and southeastern Washington.

Starting April 10, Frontier Airlines will be Sky Harbor's fifth airline to offer service between Phoenix and Los Angeles, joining American, Delta, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines. Frontier will also debut new service to St. Louis, Missouri.
