During the 1970s, Air France operated between Paris and Papeete with stopovers in three Latin American cities. Services were carried out in Boeing 707s with two seating classes.
The French airline’s flights to Papeete were part of an extension of the route to Lima. Air France had four operations per week to the Peruvian capital, one of which offered a connection to Papeete.
