Andorra Open to Third Weekly Paris Flight with Private Funding

The Andorran government is open to introducing a third weekly flight to Paris, following the model already in place for routes to Madrid and Palma de Mallorca, but it would require private sector funding to become viable.

David Forné, the Secretary of State for Energy Transition, Transport and Mobility, told RTVA that the executive wants to strengthen air links from Andorra with France, just as it has with Spain's capital. Business leaders have long pushed for better connectivity to Paris, and Forné said a mixed public-private company would need to be established to operate the additional service.

He emphasised that the government cannot cover the costs of maintaining flights to all three destinations on its own. The Paris route would be particularly expensive due to its longer distance and the need to upgrade the aircraft's fuel supply system at Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell Airport.

Currently, the principality operates two weekly flights each to Madrid and Palma, providing essential access for residents and the business community. Expanding to Paris would address a key demand from entrepreneurs seeking improved ties with northern neighbours, though financial viability hinges on private investment.
