Following their inaugural A380 flights Air France have announced plans to use their next two A380's on their Paris (CDG) to Dubai (DXB) route and Paris (CDG) to Johannesburg (JNB) route. The services to Dubai are expected to commence from 18 January 2010 and will see the current twice daily 777 services condensed to a daily return A380 service maintaining current capacity on the route. These plans would see Air France competing directly with Emirates A380 service on this route after Emirates first service commences from the 1 February 2010.On the Paris to Johannesburg route Air France intends to commence services from early March 2010 which will again see the twice daily 777 services replaced by a daily A380 service. This makes Air France the first carrier to deploy the A380 into the African continent which marking a significant milestone in the steps to providing a global A380 network. Now South America and Antarctica are the only continents not to see regular A380 services.
While Air France have not yet confirmed the timetable for the above routes, partly due to not knowing the exact delivery dates of their next A380's, the following link provides details of all current A380 timetables for all carriers:
