Air France-KLM Cargo is is to begin a new flight twice per week between Paris and Atlanta on March 27.

Air France Cargo will operate the flight, with Air France-KLM and Martinair Cargo providing sales and customer service, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport officials announced Feb. 23.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, who has made air cargo a plank in his economic development platform, was on hand for a ceremony at the airport announcing the new flight. It is expected to create six jobs and bring an annual economic impact of $8 million to $12 million on the regional economy.

The flight marks the return of Air France Cargo to Atlanta. The carrier suspended its routes here in 2009, after 12 consecutive years of service.
