Air France is launching Canal+ on board its long-haul flights
With the CANNESERIES festival opening, Air France and CANAL+ are announcing a new partnership.
Air France is offering privileged access to a selection of CANAL + programmes on all its long haul flights. Customers can watch CANAL + Creation Originale series, must-see programmes, comedy shows, documentaries and children's shows during their trip. This content adds to Air France's in-flight entertainment selection, which also features a wide range of movies.
By teaming up with CANAL +, Air France is continuing to promote French savoir-faire throughout the world. This is a strong commitment on the part of Air France, which devotes 30% of its entertainment offer to French productions, with its selection of films and TV series.
Air France customers can enjoy episodes of recent or iconic CANAL + Creation Originale series during their flight, such as The Embers, Of Money and Blood and Versailles. Flagship shows such as En Aparté and comedy shows with Laura Felpin, Roman Frayssinet and many others are also available. Captivating documentaries on travel, discovery and sport, as well as children's content, round off the variety of shows on offer. From June 2025, the selection will be enhanced with content from CANAL + Africa, such as the series Niabla and the documentary series Enquête d'Afrique.
In total, around 100 CANAL + programmes are available, subtitled and adapted for the deaf and hard of hearing. This selection will be renewed with twenty new programmes every month.
Fabien Pelous, Senior Vice President Customer Experience at Air France, said:
"We are proud to be showcasing CANAL + programmes on board our flights. Renowned throughout the world for their creativity, I'm sure they will appeal to our customers and promote French culture. They also enable us to offer more up-todate content on board our flights"
Christophe Pinard-Legry, CEO of CANAL + France in charge of Business activities, also added:
"We are delighted with this unique partnership, which will enable Air France passengers to enjoy an exclusive entertainment experience on board its long-haul flights. We are particularly honoured that Air France has chosen CANAL+ to create its first and only dedicated media space, reinforcing our commitment to promoting French, and soon African, audiovisual creation throughout the world"
A partnership celebrated during the CANNESERIES festival
From 24 to 29 April 2025, Air France and CANAL + were official partners of the eighth season of CANNESERIES, the international series festival spotlighting a major and essential genre of audiovisual creation. At the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, Air France welcomed festivalgoers to its stand. It was an opportunity to test its screens and their latest generation graphic interface and browse through all the programmes on offer during the flight.
