A new flight route between Cardiff and Paris will launch this autumn with tickets starting at under £10.

The news comes as a result Vueling’s acquisition of slots at Paris Orly, enabling the airline to expand and operate 32 new routes from November.
The Cardiff-Paris route will be the fourth route in Vueling’s Cardiff programme, which already opperates flights to Palma de Mallorca, Malaga and Alicante.
The introduction of the service forms part of Cardiff Airport's strategy to re-instate key routes which were lost due to the impact of the pandemi, and as a result of Flybe's collapse in March 2020.
Earlier this year, routes to Belfast and Edinburgh resumed, operated by Eastern Airways and Loganair, and Ryanair will be launching a four-weekly service to Dublin from the end of October.
Flights to Paris Orly are currently on sale at special fares from Cardiff airport, with flights available for under £10.
Spencer Birns, CEO at Cardiff Airport said: “We are delighted that Vueling has stepped in to provide a much-needed service to Paris from Cardiff Airport. The announcement will be welcome news for our customers wanting to travel to visit family, to explore one of the world’s greatest cities, and of course for large sporting events. Paris is also hugely popular with families wanting to visit Disneyland, and it is fantastic that this will once again be easily accessible for passengers.”
“I’d like to thank Vueling for their continued confidence and partnership with Cardiff Airport, and we very much look forward to launching the route later this year.”
