Operated on Boeing B777-300 aircraft with seating capacity of 310, the added frequency makes Air France the first European airline to serve Beijing twice daily.

The new flight departs Paris at 18.55, reaching Beijing at 10.30 the next day. The return flight leaves Beijing at 13.15, reaching Paris at 17.40 the same day.
