Air France will inaugurate a direct connection of three flights per week to this American state at the end of May. Phoenix will thus become Air France's 17th destination in the United States, and the 24th in North America.

The city, in addition to its unrivaled architectural wealth or its Native American heritage, is often the starting point for tourists on an authentic American road trip. In 2022, a little more than 50,000 French travelers visited Arizona, making France one of the three most important tourist markets for this state.
