Air France and the French national rail operator SNCF have expanded their Train+Air service to include all Ouigo trains that connect to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. This means travelers can now book a train ride and an Air France flight together in a single transaction. Previously, this combined booking was only available for TGV Inoui trains traveling to or from Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports, and could be paired with tickets from 14 airline partners, including Air France. The new expansion aims to make travel between the airport and the city more seamless, with the system automatically accounting for connection times. If a traveler misses their connection due to a delay on either the train or the flight, the airline or SNCF will reschedule them to the next available departure.
This integrated booking system has already shown significant success. According to Air France, the combined Train+Air service has led to a 43% increase in traffic compared to the same period in 2025. This growth reflects a rising interest in more flexible and sustainable travel options. The service allows travelers to switch between rail and air travel with minimal hassle, offering convenience and reliability.
Vincent Etchebehere, Director of Sustainable Development and New Mobility at Air France, emphasized that intermodal travel—combining different forms of transport—is a key part of Air France’s strategy to reduce carbon emissions. By promoting train and flight combinations, the company hopes to encourage more environmentally friendly travel choices. The 43% increase in usage observed in the first half of 2026 highlights the growing appeal of this approach among travelers.
The expansion of the Train+Air service is part of a broader effort to make air travel more sustainable and efficient. By integrating train services with flights, Air France and SNCF are offering passengers a more flexible and eco-conscious way to travel between cities and airports. This move also helps reduce the environmental impact of transportation by encouraging the use of trains for shorter distances and flights for longer journeys.
