Air France fleet
The Air France fleet comprises the mainline passenger and freighter aircraft operated by Air France, together with the regional aircraft operated by HOP! when the wider Air France operating group is being counted. A registration-level census listed 268 aircraft on 29 August 2026: 231 mainline and cargo aircraft and 37 HOP! regional jets.[1] The fleet spans Airbus A220 and A320-family aircraft on short- and medium-haul services, Airbus A330 and A350 and Boeing 777 and 787 wide-bodies, two Boeing 777 freighters, and Embraer E-Jets operated by HOP!.
Scope and counting method
Air France publishes two related fleet populations. At 31 December 2025, its own mainline fleet contained 229 aircraft: 120 long-haul passenger aircraft, 107 medium-haul aircraft and two freighters. HOP!'s separately operated regional fleet contained another 39 aircraft, 36 of which were in operation. Air France's corporate key figures therefore reported 268 aircraft including HOP!.[2][3]
The current table below uses the registration-level AF/AFR operational listing on 29 August 2026. That source also totals 268 aircraft, but its composition has changed: 231 mainline and cargo aircraft and 37 HOP! E-Jets. Identical headline totals on different dates do not imply that no aircraft entered or left the fleet.[1]
Transavia France is not included. Although it is part of the Air France-KLM Group and operates services from Paris, it has its own operator identity and fleet. The same distinction applies to KLM, KLM Cityhopper and Martinair.

An asterisk denotes a source-listed registration series, not every possible letter in that series. Gaps must not be filled by inference. The operational source lists each current registration individually and supplies the variant designations used above.[1]
The current distribution is 109 Air France short/medium-haul aircraft, 120 passenger wide-bodies, two freighters and 37 HOP! regional aircraft. The 120-aircraft long-haul total is unchanged from the year-end report, but the mix has shifted from eight A330s and 41 A350s to six A330s and 43 A350s.[2][1]
Short- and medium-haul fleet
Airbus A220-300
The A220-300 is the largest single subfleet in the current census, with 58 aircraft. Air France received its first A220 on 29 September 2021 after placing a firm order for 60, plus options and purchase rights. The aircraft was selected to replace ageing A318s and A319s and was planned to form most of the medium-haul fleet alongside the A320 and A321.[4]
Air France received its 50th A220, F-HPNZ Valbonne, in November 2025. Eleven A220s entered the fleet during 2025; the current total indicates further deliveries after the year-end reporting date, but a delivery date should be stored against each airframe rather than inferred from the count alone.[5][2][1]
Air France publishes a 148-seat configuration for the type. The A220 uses Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofans, distinguishing it from the CFM56-powered A320-family aircraft it is replacing.[2]
Airbus A320 family
The remaining current-generation A320-family fleet contains 51 aircraft: four A318s, two A319s, 36 A320s and nine A321s. All use CFM56-family engines in Air France's published fleet information. The variants and registrations show that the fleet is not a uniform block: the current A320s include both A320-214 and A320-216 aircraft, while the A321 fleet contains one A321-111 and eight listed A321-212s.[2][1]
During 2025 Air France disposed of or returned 12 A320-family aircraft while taking 11 A220s. That replacement process continued into 2026, as shown by the lower current A318, A319 and A321 counts and the higher A220 count compared with the published year-end table.[2][1]
Long-haul fleet
Airbus wide-bodies
The current Airbus long-haul fleet comprises six A330-200s and 43 A350-900s. Air France's published technical data identifies General Electric CF6 engines on the A330-200 and Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines on the A350-900. Representative published capacities are 224 and 324 seats respectively, but actual cabin layouts can differ.[2]
Air France introduced the A350 in 2019. Its 40th example, F-HUVT Noirmoutier-en-L'Île, was delivered on 20 November 2025; the current list extends through F-HUVX and contains 43 aircraft. Six A350s entered during 2025 while four A330s and two A380s left the reported fleet.[5][2][1]
The A350 is central to Air France-KLM's long-haul renewal. A Group-level order announced in 2023 covered 50 A350-900 and A350-1000 aircraft, with purchase rights for 40 more and delivery planned from 2026 to 2030. Because the order is explicitly flexible between Group airlines, it is not presented as an Air France-only backlog.[6]
Boeing wide-bodies
The Boeing passenger fleet contains 61 777s and ten 787-9s. Eighteen 777-200ERs and 43 777-300ERs make the 777 the largest long-haul family. Air France's -228(ER) and -328(ER) designations retain Boeing's former customer-code suffix for the airline. The published fleet data identifies GE90 engines on both 777 passenger variants and GEnx engines on the 787-9.[2][1]
Cabin capacity varies significantly within the 777-300ER fleet. Air France publishes a range of 296 to 472 seats for the type, reflecting different market and cabin roles. Selected 777-300ERs are receiving the new four-suite La Première cabin; the first such scheduled service operated to New York-JFK on 8 April 2025. That modification programme should not be used to assign the new cabin to every 777-300ER.[2][7]
The ten 787-9s, F-HRBA through F-HRBJ, form the smallest passenger wide-body subfleet. Air France's published representative layout contains 279 seats.[2][1]
Cargo fleet
Air France Cargo operates two 777 freighters, F-GUOB and F-GUOC. They are 777-F28 aircraft powered by GE90 engines and are distinct from belly cargo carried on passenger flights.[2][1]
Air France-KLM ordered four A350Fs in 2022 for Air France cargo capacity. Later Group decisions and delivery schedules can change before entry into service, so the order is recorded as a fleet-development programme rather than as current aircraft or a fixed registration list.[8]
HOP! regional fleet
HOP! operates the regional aircraft sold under the Air France network. The current operational list contains ten Embraer 170s and 27 Embraer 190s, all powered by GE CF34-family engines.[1][2]
At 31 December 2025 the regional fleet contained 39 aircraft, of which 36 were operational; during that year four E190s entered and one E170 left. The current 37-aircraft listing has two fewer E170s and the same 27 E190s as the published year-end type table. It should not be assumed that an absent registration was sold, stored or scrapped without an airframe-specific source.[2][1]
HOP!'s aircraft are separated from Air France mainline in this article because operator, ownership and marketing identity are different concepts. The wider 268-aircraft headline includes them only because Air France itself presents an “including HOP!” figure.[3]
Engines
| Aircraft | Engine family represented |
| Airbus A220-300 | Pratt & Whitney PW1500G |
| Airbus A318 / A319 / A320 / A321 | CFM International CFM56 |
| Airbus A330-200 | General Electric CF6 |
| Airbus A350-900 | Rolls-Royce Trent XWB |
| Boeing 777-200ER / 777-300ER / 777F | General Electric GE90 |
| Boeing 787-9 | General Electric GEnx |
| Embraer 170 / 190 | General Electric CF34 |
The table describes the engine families published for each fleet type. Individual-engine serial numbers, lease arrangements and temporary substitutions belong in airframe maintenance records rather than this fleet overview.[2]
Cabins and configuration
Air France uses multiple cabin arrangements within several types. Its published fleet page gives representative or range figures rather than a registration-level guarantee: 148 seats for the A220, 131 for the A318, 142–143 for the A319, 174–178 for the A320, 212 for the A321, 224 for the A330, 324 for the A350, 280–312 for the 777-200ER, 296–472 for the 777-300ER and 279 for the 787-9.[2]
HOP!'s published capacities are 76 seats for the E170 and 100 for the E190. Configuration, cabin product and connectivity can change during refurbishment. In 2026 Air France said its free high-speed Wi-Fi retrofit covered 40% of aircraft by the end of March and was intended to reach virtually the whole fleet by year-end; that programme does not establish the installation status of a named registration without a dated aircraft source.[9]
Fleet renewal and ownership
At 31 December 2025, 95 of the 229 Air France aircraft were wholly owned, 33 were under finance leases and 101 were under operating leases. Those categories describe financing rather than who conducts each flight. HOP!'s 39-aircraft fleet was 35.9% owned and 64.1% under operating lease.[2]
The renewal programme is replacing A318s, A319s and other older A320-family aircraft with A220s, and A330s and some older long-haul capacity with A350s. Group orders are allocated between airlines over time, so an Air France-KLM order should not be converted into a definite Air France fleet addition until the recipient is identified.[2][6]
Historic fleet
Air France was formed in 1933 with 259 aircraft of 31 types inherited from its constituent airlines. Its fleet was rapidly rationalised and later included Douglas DC-3 and DC-4 aircraft and Lockheed Constellations as post-war long-haul flying expanded.[10]
Subsequent milestones included the Sud Aviation Caravelle, Boeing 707, Boeing 747, Airbus A300 and A310, Concorde, Airbus A340 and Airbus A380. Historic types are not included in the current census, even where an aircraft remains preserved or an Air France livery is displayed in a museum.[10]
Registrations and airframe records
The current aircraft use French F- marks. Registration series make fleet patterns visible, but they are not proof of continuous delivery blocks, ownership or present status. For example, selected letters are absent from the A220, A350 and 777 sequences in the source.[1]
An individual-aircraft record should connect the exact registration to its verified manufacturer serial number, variant, delivery date, name, engine installation, operator and dated status. This overview abbreviates large registration blocks to remain readable; it never creates marks from a pattern.
Within aviation.wiki, structured relationships connect this fleet page to the approved aircraft families and variants used by Air France mainline. HOP!'s E-Jets are described and sourced here but are not asserted as direct Air France mainline operates_aircraft relationships.
