This direct routing scores well on airspace status compared to alternatives that might route around Central Asia. The absence of active disruption zones makes this a straightforward corridor at the moment.

  • NRT–CDG routes directly west via Central Asia — same structural routing as NRT→FRA direct but slightly longer due to CDG's more westerly position.
  • Air France and ANA both operate 1 daily NRT–CDG frequency each. Combined rebooking flexibility is reasonable.
  • No connection required — direct departure from Narita to Charles de Gaulle.
  • The Central Asian routing post-2022 has added approximately 1 hour to NRT–CDG compared to the pre-closure Russian airspace path.
  • Total journey approximately 11.5 hours. Best default choice for NRT→CDG under current conditions.
Route dependency Some

The Russian airspace closure rerouted this corridor through Central Asia, significantly lengthening the journey. If Russian airspace status changes, this route's path and duration would need re-review.
