AF Flight at ATL

Any one know why there is a Air France either A 320 or 321 at ATL? No way it’s going to Paris? Is it some partnership with DL?

AF is shifting several Caribbean flights from MIA to ATL. PTP and FDF if I remember correctly.

It'll help AF better fill these flights, since they'll have access to DL feed at ATL.

It flies to somewhere in the Caribbean (FDF maybe?)

There is a twice weekly departure on AF utilizing an A320 from ATL>PTP (Pointe-a-Pitre)

Yes, an AF A320 is flying ATL-PTP as AF609 today.

It seems to fly Wednesdays and Sundays.

Here is a press release from last year:

And an interesting article about AF's history in the Caribbean:

an equally interesting tidbit about the jets on some of these routes (from the Old Timers' Airline and Airliner Quiz and Discussion)
