Dhaka, Dec. 26 -- Air France will suspend its direct flights between Paris and Manila during the northern summer of 2026, shifting the service to a seasonal operation just a year after its high-profile return to the Philippine market.

The SkyTeam alliance carrier plans to halt its three-times-weekly flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Manila from May 4 to Oct. 12, 2026, according to schedule data published by aviation monitoring site AeroRoutes.

Air France has yet to issue an official statement on the adjustment. The Manila Bulletin said it had contacted the airline for comment and would update its report once more information becomes available.
