AF returns to Manila from Dec 7 with 3 daily flights.

3 daily flights, that would demonstrate quite a level of confidence in a newly established long haul route

Schedule:
AF 208 CDG 23:20-19:30 MNL, flight time 13h 10mins, operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays
AF 209 MNL 21:50-05:50 CDG, flight time 15h, operating on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays

All flights operated by A350-900

The flight from Manila to Paris - 15 hours flight time - will become the longest nonstop flight in the AF network. The current recordholder was CDG-SCL with 14 hours and 30 minutes.

PS: if some aviation buff could find the flight times of the Paris-Indochine route from the 1930s, just for comparison. Didn't some flights also go to Manila?
