Of course they will for medium haul. There is no way AF could drop service to all capital/major cities in Europe Joon has taken over AF (LIS, BCN, TXL, OSL, BUD, FCO, NAP, IST, and soon ARN, PRG, MAD, etc etc).
On long-haul, it can be different and on a case-by-case basis. Some routes, for sure, will go back to AF mainline like CAI, SXM, BOM and CPT. Other can be questionnable like SEZ, FOR and the one announced but not started yet like UIO.

With so few details, it's hard to say. For sure not linked to potential stop of Joon ops but just re-scheduling.

I have another JOON flight to BOM booked for next February, and I hope that it will still be JOON operated (or at least, still on the refurbished A340). The PE seats are the best in the AF fleet and the FAs were much friendlier than the standard AF crews. Long live JOON (well, until March will do for me).

And today my Joon connection from CDG in August 2019 was cancelled. Second cancellation in two days.
I have got a new connection. Landing 13:30 in CDG 2F, departing from CDG 2G with a "LAST CHECK IN TIME: 13:35"... Well, it's not very far to walk, and they probably do not close the gate at 13:35. But this whole thing does not look very customer friendly.

You cannot walk from 2F to 2G. Bus is mandatory. Last check-in time is irrelevant as I am guessing you will be checked-in already. As the flight is from 2G, I am guessing it departs around 14:15 ? It will be very tight to make this connection. Not impossible if your incoming flight is on-time and if you are seated at the front to disembark quickly and rush. Otherwise, unlikely to make it. I am not sure it is a legal connection. Is this on the same ticket or separate ?

Is Joon over? No (French)
To sum up:
- Ben Smith told that Joon will not be stopped, and all planes and employees will stay
- The brand had some success, at least financially
- Joon's role inside the pool of AF brands needs to be more clearly defined
- Many options on what to do next, nothing decided yet.

Same ticket. But I had it changed, won't risk it. Seems like AFKL is stretching the limits these days...
