London Gatwick has expanded its European connectivity with new services to Frankfurt and Paris, boosting choice and flexibility for business travel. Condor’s three-times-daily Frankfurt route and Air France’s return to Paris Charles de Gaulle strengthen links to two major hubs.

These additions enhance onward global connections and support more efficient itineraries for UK-based business travel, particularly for travellers requiring flexible schedules and access to key international markets.

Air France and SNCF Voyageurs have expanded their long-standing Train + Air partnership to include OUIGO services, allowing flights and high-speed rail journeys to be combined in a single, protected booking to and from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The enhancement simplifies business travel to key French cities while supporting lower-carbon travel choices for UK-based business travellers flying to France.
